Default backing off limbs

unfortunately i can't make it out bowhunting this year (transitional career change). although i've had some time to practice in the yard a little, i've been exploiting other game to hunt. so i don't plan on shooting again till next spring/early summer. i've traditionally backed my limbs off on my bow before storage for the winter- i've been told this saves the limbs in the long run. is this true?? and how far should i back them off?? i typically shoot with the limbs bottomed out, then back them off about 3-4 full turns on each limb. i shoot a carbine hawk by golden eagle. any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
