Self bows get unstrung and hung from a peg when I am finished shooting them.

I hang some horizontally on pegs and the ones I'm actively shooting are on the pool or ping-pong tables. I've never stored a bow upright resting on the limb tip.  I don't know if someone told me not to 40+ years ago or I knew it looked harmful.
