Have you ever cleaned your string? No, I didn't think so. Here's a quick and easy way for you to clean your string, and apply some fresh wax before the season starts. I like to use Dento-tape. Take a foot long piece of dental floss, and wrap it around your string like this:
Pull it tight, and just run it up and down and around any exposed string material. You don't need to run it over any serving. It will pull any excess wax and grime off your string into a ball looking like this:
Just clear all this grime off with your fingers, and when you're done, just reapply some light wax onto your string. I am a big proponent of less is better, and unless you're hunting in rainy, snowy conditions, you don't need a lot of string wax. Be sure to rub it in with your fingers with enough friction that it feels hot on your fingertips. This ensures the wax is melting into the string fibers.
Just a quick easy tip to keep your string grime free and in tip top shape for this coming season.
Next up will be a biggie....grip pressure! I took some good photos and tuning shots to show everyone how grip pressure affects arrow flight. It's sure to stir up some trouble!!!
