@Jeff I don't shoot at all right now, just moved and trying to find good nearby areas to practice. But I did talk with a nearby shop owner and he said changing it every 2-3 years is the best bet with waxing every month. I keep it in my room where the temp only really fluctuates from 64-74 degrees. If I kept it in my basement it would be around 60 all year (not sure about winter since I haven't been here for it yet). I'll be practicing quite a bit more before I actually go hunting and plan on taking the hunting safety course in this fall. I'm betting I'd be a bit older (21) going to a course haha.
Also, when adding on wax, do you just rub it with your fingers? And do you wax everything or just the string areas? I've seen some people use a blow drying and was wondering if I could use a piece of cloth or just my fingers.
