Leaving a bow strung
«

I am relatively new to traditional archery. I have been reading a number of books and practicing daily. Is it OK to leave a recurve or long bow strung for extended periods of time? Do I need to unstring them daily?
I would appreciate peoples thoughts.
Cheers

I unstring mine daily, If they were meant to be strung all the time, seems like the maker would keep their display models strung in their store...
Just my 2cents.

I keep bow strung in the bow shop for the most part of the year. Saves time with customers. I have my own hunting recurve strung now for several years and only unstring to change strings. But what ever you do always use a bow stringer. More bow get broken or damager due to unstring or stringing without the use of a bow stringer.Now if you have a self bow that is made of only wood the need is to unstring after each use or the wood takes a set and you will lose peak weight of the bow.

Lukas Novotny of Saluki bows advises against leaving your bow strung. I for one heed this advice.

Nothing wrong with leaving a glass laminated bow strung. I think Ken Beck even recommends it. Just don't leave one strung in a hot vehicle.
