I was told when they no longer feel sticky

 

Yeppers! I do that regardless of how often. There is no set time.

During hunting season I keep mine waxed up a little more do to the elements.

I always wax my string when it looks "hairy"...

Every time when I finish shooting. It only takes a few minutes, so why not

I would say once a month if you shoot several times a week.

 

is there such a thing as over waxing?

 

About every 5th time I go out to shoot.

 

I shoot almost 2 hr a day with 452x and basically never wax, after a few months there might be a little fuzz but not that bad. I did wax about 3 weeks ago just because I saw some wax in my kit and had my bow handy but with the quality of todays 452x waxing just isn't as big a deal anymore.

 

A couple of times a year. I should a couple of times a week in the warmer weather.

 

When it starts looking hairy.

 

If you wax your bowstring too much, you'll go blind! At least that's what they used to say when I was a teenager. ;-)

 

I feel the string in a few areas between the servings about once a week and wax if it feels dry. As long as the wax isn't sitting on top of the strand bundles, you are not over-waxed. I certainly don't wait until I can see the appearance change, as the cost of a new string set is far more than a tube of wax and the time it takes to wax it up.

 

If you do it right....after ever shooting session.

 

More often than I actually do...

If you shoot every day, as I do, you should probably give your strings a good wax every couple of weeks, which I honestly don't...

 

after every session, idealy.

 

I only wax mine a few times a year and they seem to hold up just fine.
