What?! You mean people actually put there bows up after season? Wow, new to me. lol. JK. Like they' ve said, no hot places otherwise it could crack your limbs, if its recurve, take the string off. Make sure that if its in a case that theres no broadheads on arrows or anything that could nick a string. But, its a little late now, you need to be pullin it out right about now and getting it ready for season. Please dont wait till september to get ready. Me and the other guys at the store i work at get so overrun with people pullin there bows out about august and bringin them in, and we cant get them back to them in less than a week cause were so overrun with bows.
