Default RE: How long is it safe to leave a recurve cocked?

If it's a problem leaving it cocked all day then there's a problem. It is not uncommon to hunt dawn to dusk.

A friend of mine leaves his cocked all the time. I got on him about it, but to no avail. He does not uncock or shoot it when he finishes hunting. He leaves it cocked. Of course he takes the arrow out when not actually hunting... He's taken several deer with it over the years and this doesn't seem to effect it. It is a wheeled bow though.
