My main recurve stays strung for days, somtimes weeks at a time. I shoot quite often and don't see the need to for all the stringing and unstringing. I've done that with several of my bows over the year without issue. My selfbow does get unstrung immediately after use, but it's a different creature than a glass laminate bow. Also, anytime I travel with a bow, it gets unstrung for the trip.
