Bow Storage
« on: January 07, 2007, 12:06:00 PM »
Is it a good practice to un string your bow when not shooting. Will any harm come to the bow leaving it strung up. It has a Cocobolo handle
Red Elm laminations under clear fiberglass.

Thank You   :campfire:

I would leave it strung up. No harm will come to the bow as long as you don`t leave it in a hot car or someplace hot.

What I was told by a bowyer a few years ago was this: If you shoot a few times a week, or more, leave it strung. You are far more likely to damage it during the stringing and unstringing process than by leaving it strung.

If stringing and unstringing is a concern, leave it strung. I prefer not to store a bow with tension on the limbs and the string. I believe this is the lesser of the two evils.
