Bow Storage
« on: January 11, 2008, 11:03:00 PM »
I'm only in my second year as a traditional archer without a mentor or any guidance besides the posts on this page.  I am curious about the best way to store my recurve.  I have learned that it is ok to keep it strung but i am now wanting to store it for winter.  Do i need to store it flat?  Hung on a rifle style holder?  Am i in danger of limb warpage?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yup. But whatever you do, don't lean it against a wall for storage, hang it.
