Bow strings are often treated with a wax or lubricant to enhance their durability and performance. This substance helps protect the fibers from moisture and wear, reducing fraying and improving the string's lifespan. Additionally, waxing can help decrease friction between the string and the arrow, leading to better accuracy and smoother release. Common options include specialized bow string waxes made from beeswax or synthetic materials.
