Turtle Waxing Compounds

[Tree Tramp]

Has anyone ever done this to their bow. Any negatives other than the smell?

 

[ShaneHallum]

You mean the strings? or the bow itself?

 

[Tree Tramp]

The bow itself.

 

[Hoss]

It works pretty well on target bows. Keep the paste away from the crevices, like where the limbs and riser come together. If you get the paste in those tight places it is very difficult to get it out. If you have access to a bow press, you can disassemble the bow, wax it and reassemble. Remove all attachments and polish them also.

If the bow is camo. Don't do this!! the matte finish will hold the polish and your finish will be ruined.

I've never heard of people doing that.. That's pretty cool.

Hoss, you are the man. That is exactly what i needed to hear. I couldn't find a thing on this anywhere. Thanks. I'll look to return the favor.

Why would you want to wax your bow? Serious question not being smart.

She's showing her age. I like to keep my guns looking good same as my bow.

I can't figure out why anyone wouldn't spend money on string wax. It's CHEAP and it's made for strings.

I could care less what my bow looks like. As long as it is tuned the way I like it and the deer can't see it.

i think he is wanting to wax the actual bow, not the strings

Ahh, ok.

Why?

 

[TLRanger]

I never wax my bow but I do wax my arrows. It makes them slicker and quieter. Actually, I use Armour All (sp). They also shed water better when I get caught in the rain.

To clean my bow , I use scent free soap and water , making sure to dry off the bow good . Then I use light bow oil to lube the axles and also oil any screws,etc. that may rust.
I see no purpose to wax a hunting bow , because I don't want a shiny finish that may spook game in the sunlight .

Waxing a bow is unnecessary. Waxing your arrows is a good idea..

 

[Hoss]

Like I said. Only wax a target model with shiny riser and limbs. If you try to wax a matte finish bow you will make a mess or if you have a bow with the vinyl coating like Bowtech even their target bows may be off limits. But if you have a bow with a painted and/or fiberglass finish you can wax it to shine and polish it for a great look.

Yes it does and it sells good too. Thanks again.
