Anybody use Butcher's Wax on their bows? I bought a pound of it and I'm going to try it on my bows.

Bill,
are you talking about Butcher's Wax?

If so, yes I've been using this stuff for years. I have not found anything more economical or easier to use that protects my bows this well.
Vaughn,
Yes, I'm talking about Butcher's Wax. I guess Butch's Wax is what you would use on a flat top! ;) :)

I've been using it for years on my bows.
Where do you find it?
I did a Google search and bought it off the internet. There's several different kinds. It's actually bowling alley wax. I'm not sure whether I would want to use one of the styles they offer. It says it cures to a hardened finish. I don't know that I would want that on the limbs of my bows.
Here's a link to the company I bought it from. I bought the clear wax. I was afraid the amber would change the appearance of the woods in my bows.

Home Depot carries it too.
Bill, all of them cure to a hard finish. It's good stuff. I like it better than the Minwax paste wax, but I couldn't find the stuff last time I needed to buy it

Jeremy,
So the hardening of the wax causes no problems with limb action? Do you apply a thin coat?
Bill
Bill,
the hardening does not effect the limbs at all. Yes thin coats. I usually do about 3-4 coats buffing between coats.
Have you all tried it on wood arrows? I like to wax my woodies to make them easier to pull from some 3-D's and pratice bales. I use minwax now but it is only good for a few shots.
