Hello Sean! I just bought my first bow after watching your videos and doing some more research. Here to learn again how to maintenance it and wax it. Never stop uploading!
Great tips....did not know about the leather usage but will give it a try....have the same wax and its been around a long long long time.....Have a great Memorial Day!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.....😎
Hey Sean what's the name of the solid limb bow I always see hanging up in the back. She looks lonely. I like solid limb's Do you have a video that measures the difference's (speed/noise ect:) of the older solid limb bows verses the newer.
I don't have that kind of video. That is an old Bear Whitetail II. It is super slow compared to newer bows. Elite has many bows that are solid limb with their two newest as split limb. The split limb enables a bow to have a larger cam, which can certainly help with speed. Perhaps watch my review video on Elite and compare the numbers of all their bows compared to their new Option 6 and 7. Here is the link. ruclips.net/video/oOhAGLQ7Ipc/видео.html
sorry for being dumb, i just got my first bow, is that peep sight for aiming? i am using the tip of the arrow. My target is about 20 m away and the sights seem not to work. i think bc i am too close. You can see my video for what i am doing the first day i got it. i am not ready to go further away yet, also its a bit hard to find a greater distance at my place without going down my driveway but i need to make a fence first. Any tips are appreciated.
I'm liking it a lot! I was shooting it yesterday. I'm still breaking it in, which is why I didn't tie in the cord for the arrow rest yet. I like to wait a bit and make fine tuning here and there as I am getting a bow set up just right for me. I think I have it right at that spot now.
You should always work the wax into the string with a piece of leather. You need to heat the wax up to melt it in, and yes, it is something you should do.
The string material is a much different type of material than the serving, and the serving is not impacted or worn down by friction from the wind or vibration of the stings in the shots in the same way that the strand material is. For that, and other reasons, the serving simply doesn't need the added help of wax to preserve it from wearing out.
Hi Sean, great videos. I just purchased a SB1 because of your reviews. So far I love my bow. That being said, should I wax the new string or wait a bit until I worked the cables? Thank you
You can wax it. Just be sure to work it into the string really well especially the cables so that there is no friction from excess wax at the cable slide. Having friction from excess wax at the slide leads to cables breaking during the shot and damage to the bow.
Its the React Pro. It works pretty well but you have to check the tool free tighteners from time to time because they sometimes loosen up a bit. God bless ya!
@@seansoutdoors Awesome 😎 Thank you very much for what you do. My Dad and I have been watching your videos because we might be looking into getting some compound bows and arrows for hunting but we figured we needed to learn about them first so again thank you for what you do and God bless you always.
Nope. Not in the least. I think it would be hard for a human to generate the type of friction that might be needed to damage a bow string with friction in that scenario. Plus you have to remember the lubrication that is taking place from the wax, which is the whole point of the wax, but you also need a way to work that wax down into the string. God bless you.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures : Sean if you are ever out in Idaho put in for unit 54 it's a draw hunt with unlimited archery tags , then hit me up and I will put you on some pretty nice mule deer .
It should be fine. If anything, the cables and string could have stretched, especially if it was exposed to high heat. That can be corrected by adding twist to them to bring them back to the specified length. Other than that you should be fine. And, it is possible that they have not stretched over time and you can just shoot it as is. God bless you.
So. this is off topic but I am curious, why in the east they count both sides of the antlers to come to how many points a deer has but in the West they only count 1 side why is that and why can't it just be a universal thing ?
I'm not sure how the different approaches developed. I guess because I grew up in the east I always preferred the way we do it. Perhaps it is like having and accent. You grow up in an area and you sound a little different than people who speak the same language but grew up in a different region of the country.
Thanks for stopping in. If you look at some of my archery related playlists there will be some information you can apply to archery, but there are a few videos that have some recurve exclusive information. Thanks again and God bless you.
Hello Sean I'm still Waiting for my Diamond edge sb-1 ( i phoned the shop This morning and the Guy said you should get it Friday or Saturday ) I hate waiting? .. this morning i Ordered a Dozen Gold Tip Ted/Nugent Arrow's and 1 Trophy Ridge Volt 5 Pin Sight + a TR Joker 4 pin Sight for my Over bow.Plus a lot of over Stuff to pimp out my Bow's. Spending money like it's going out of fashion! Im Always Waxing my strings Especially my crossbow's got 4 my Barnett BlackSpur is Deadly Accurate Like my rifles. How's the fishing Going. my Lad Caught 3 Brownies the other night plus a 18lbs Pike Scared the life out my 6 year old Granddaughter. god bless you mate
Awesome on all the stuff you are getting, and yes, we truly live in a world that doesn't like to wait, lol. With digital technology we have been conditioned to getting things immediately, lol. Good luck with all of your new stuff. As for fishing, I have only been out once this year, lol. I'm just too busy with the new baby and three other kids. I didn't really even get to turkey hunt this year. No big deal. At some point in the future I will be able to get back to those types of things when they are older. God bless you.
Yeah I know what you mean. I remember when my kids Where young Stop me from alot Of my hobbies. And working all those hours. Sometimes I'd go night fishing Just to get away from it all? my boy's Really love fishing. my Oldest son Done very well Match Fishing. Winning Lots of trophies and money. ( JAMMY GIT ) Even my daughter Love's fishing It's in our blood. Think my mum was a Mermaid? Oh i cant white for All my Goddess To come I feel like a little kid at Christmas. God bless you My friend

Great, thank you.
That leather application is awesome. Thank you!
You are welcome
Thanks for the info! I learn something every time I watch your videos.
You are welcome. God bless you and thanks for watching.
Only just started archery, been watching all your videos on how to get started, tips, etc. Very informative, thank you 🙏
That's great. You're welcome
wow you teach me something again thanks and god bless you and your family sean
Great. God bless you!
Great tips....did not know about the leather usage but will give it a try....have the same wax and its been around a long long long time.....Have a great Memorial Day!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.....😎
You are welcome, brother. God bless ya and thanks for watching, as always.
Sean have you used "String Snot"? If so....any feedback?
I haven’t used any
how often do you restring you compound bows?
Depending on how much I shoot, probably about every year. People who don't shoot as much, probably about every two years.

How do you know how many twists to put in the string before waxing it?
The bow will indicate how long the string should be. If your string is longer than that length you put twist into it until it is that length.

How are you liking that new Xpedition Sean!!??
I'm liking it a lot! I was shooting it yesterday. I'm still breaking it in, which is why I didn't tie in the cord for the arrow rest yet. I like to wait a bit and make fine tuning here and there as I am getting a bow set up just right for me. I think I have it right at that spot now.
Sean if I have steel cables do I need to wax them? Thanks for your videos I am brand new to archery and your videos help a lot!
No, but you still need to wax the string if the string is not steel
hey sean i heard chapstick works as well is that true,,,,
It's a soft wax so maybe. I've never tried it myself though.
I see a lot of people remove excess wax after they work it into the string. Need to?
You should always work the wax into the string with a piece of leather. You need to heat the wax up to melt it in, and yes, it is something you should do.
Thanks for the video!
Sure thing
Can you please explain why you don't do the serving? Thanks!
The string material is a much different type of material than the serving, and the serving is not impacted or worn down by friction from the wind or vibration of the stings in the shots in the same way that the strand material is. For that, and other reasons, the serving simply doesn't need the added help of wax to preserve it from wearing out.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures is it also true that by waxing the serving it can make it start to separate?
I could probably cause problems because you are essentially lubricating it with the wax.
Hi Sean, great videos. I just purchased a SB1 because of your reviews. So far I love my bow. That being said, should I wax the new string or wait a bit until I worked the cables? Thank you

@@seansoutdoors thank you very much. I'll make sure to do that. May the Lord bless you and your family.
A little late but what bow sight is that. I know it's a trophy ridge but what model is it? Thanks.
Its the React Pro. It works pretty well but you have to check the tool free tighteners from time to time because they sometimes loosen up a bit. God bless ya!
Huh...never thought to a piece of leather. Great info!
Cool, glad it was helpful. God bless ya brother.
Hey Sean, could i use candle wax or bees' wax?
Those waxes are probably too hard. You need a very soft wax that can easily be worked into the fibers
@@seansoutdoors Thanks for your advice
Do you have to do the D loop as well?
Nope.
@@seansoutdoors Awesome 😎 Thank you very much for what you do. My Dad and I have been watching your videos because we might be looking into getting some compound bows and arrows for hunting but we figured we needed to learn about them first so again thank you for what you do and God bless you always.
Awesome, thank you and God bless you both!
Don´t damage the bowstring with friction of leather..?
Nope. Not in the least. I think it would be hard for a human to generate the type of friction that might be needed to damage a bow string with friction in that scenario.

Quick question I just bought a bow that had been restrung and then put away(never used again) for 3 years what should I do?
It should be fine. If anything, the cables and string could have stretched, especially if it was exposed to high heat. That can be corrected by adding twist to them to bring them back to the specified length. Other than that you should be fine. And, it is possible that they have not stretched over time and you can just shoot it as is. God bless you.

You grow up in an area and you sound a little different than people who speak the same language but grew up in a different region of the country.
What can you do to get wax off your serving if you get some on the serving?
Rub it fast with a piece of leather.
@@seansoutdoors
Thanks 👍
What if I don't really use it much? Should I do it even if its just stored in a bag?
At least once in a while.
@@seansoutdoors Ok I did it.
Just got here. I hope you do vids on Recurves. Got a Southwest Archery Spyder (NOOB ALERT lol) Several ppl told me to sub to ya, so here I am.

Lol, I can relate. Enjoy it!!!
What if you just use Vaseline, would that work
No because debris can stick to Vaseline.
Could i use pine sap?
I would not recommend it on synthetic fiber strings and cables.
Everytime I shoot my bow it’s frayed after I shoot even though I waxed it beforehand
That could mean a few things. Wax isn't getting worked in well enough, wax is junk, or string is getting too old.
What bow wax are you using?
I am using this type amzn.to/3j67n5Y
How many bows do you have
a few compound and a few recurve.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures I only have a compound bow
I use my wife's hair dryer to gently work the wax into my string.
Interesting. Thanks. Enjoy your Pro Defiant. God bless ya
Good video
Thank you!
good job
Thank you!
is there a difference between a bow wax or a candel wax
Yes! Bow string wax is much softer! It doesn't cost much and lasts a long time so it is worth getting. God bless you!
I never thought to use a piece of leather. Thanks
You are welcome. God bless ya
Good info
Thanks God bless you
I've never waxed one... never knew! Haha... I guess maybe I'll start... 😁👍
Sounds good.
thanks for replying
You are welcome. God bless you.
you are so coo.Good bless you
Lol, thank you.
hi
Hi
I didn't know I need to melt it to a string
I'm glad you got to see this video then! God bless you
Wax on wax off, Sean-sān.
Lol, show me sand the floor!
