How many of you still use the old wax stick to wax your strings? Do you realize how much damage to the string and cables you are doing?
Here is a product you should switch to. Its called Scorpion Venom and is the best product on the market to lubricate your strings and cables with.
With traditional waxes you have to introduce friction into the picture to get the wax to penetrate the strings, this friction causes stress to the fibers of the string which reduces the life of the string and cable assembly. To apply the scorpion venom all you do is run the soft self contained applicator on the string and then rub lightly with your fingers, no friction necessary for penetration(get your heads out of the gutter

).
During cold weather the traditional wax tends to freeze and gum up, which again causes wear on the string and serving where it contacts the cams and cable slide. Scorpion venom, since it is a polymetric fluid, will not freeze and will continue to protect your string through out its use in the cold weather. Wax also does poorly at stopping water from getting into the strings and soaking in, which causes the string to begin to break down(or break all together if it freezes), again scorpion venom will not allow the water to penetrate the string thus continuing to protect the string. With traditional waxing you can't easily lubricate around the cams without disassembling your bow, scorpion venom allows easy lubrication of the cam and the string that goes around the cam without taking the bow apart.
I currently use the String Lubricant, Cam and Serving Lubricant and the cleaner. You will be shocked at how dirty a bowstring gets when you use the cleaner

. For my tournament shooting needs I use the Target arrow lubricant on my arrows and don't have to worry about my arrows sticking in the targets.
