I only use one bow at a time. With that said I leave it strung until I switch bows. I might switch once a year.

thanks
J. Berry told me that all recurves and flatbow 'glass longbows can stay stung......deep core trapezoidal limbed longbows and selfbows need to be unstrung, since the extra wood in the limbs can retain memory or weaken somewhat.....
I unstring my Serpentine!

I unstring my glass laminate bows if they are going to be in a hot car, or if the string needs to be maintained.
Self bows get unstrung as soon as I am done shooting.
