no particular brand. it lubricates way better and no drag on the bolt track like string wax. reason being it has petroleum jelly in it. better for the fibers the string is made from. work the Chap Stick into the bow string real good and your good to go. and it costs less then string wax. a couple of tubes of Chap Stick in the bug out bag strictly for the crossbow will last almost forever during a z-poc.

i did a little research and people said not to use Vaseline cause it traps dirt. but maybe thats only on the fancy bows. replacement strings are only five bucks anyway.

a lot of those that say that have the expensive compound crossbows where the tension is constant and cant be unstrung. or they have used to much and soaked the string in it. the key is to not soak the string in petroleum jelly. just use a thin layer worked into the string and a thin layer where the string rubs the frame. as far as it collecting dirt goes. even bow wax will do this. so that is not even a factor really. so the best i can say here is that it is just a preference thing. if its any help to ya. i even use it on my regular bows when i dont have Chap Stick on hand or simply misplaced it. lol.

cant wait to see them. i made up my mind on what type of crossbow i want. i will be going with the one i pictured. being i will be putting near my bug out bag. i want things that can be broke down fast and reassembled just as fast. i already have extra arrows for it from the compound crossbow i sold a month ago. got like 20 of them. lol. but it never hurts to get more.

okay here are the pics of my crossbow mods i promised.

the first mod are these diy sling straps. this but stock one is just Velcro straps i sewed with fishing line into this harness and added a d lope too. it can come off just by pulling on the Velcro.

i ran out of Velcro material for this one so its just a sewn d lope and cant come off. i put it through the hole in the frame their and made sure it dint move around with a strip of leather i had from a braided belt. the sling itself is just a cheap rifle string from an old bb gun.

i jb welded this magnet in place to hold the foot bar in place when it's down. otherwise it just swings loosely. i pulled the magnet from an old magnet work light in true apocalyptic fashion.

another shot of the butt stock sling saddle. you might have noticed that the clip on this side of the sling is different then the other one. thats because this clip broke off and i had to tie another plastic one on with wire.

i got more mods to add like two pieces of rubber on either side of the string to help with cocking. when i use para cord to string the bow i had to wear gloves to cock it cause the cord hurt my fingers too much.

then maybe a red dot sight and bayonet.i want to make an interchangeable piece on the front so i can swap out different accessory. like the bayonet for a fishing real so i can use this bow fishing and things.
