Strung or Unstrung
 

Any Pro's or Con's to leaving your recurve or longbow strung when not useing them (besides safty),They do hang on the wall when Iam not shooting.

Personally, I leave my recurves strung. However I always unstring my longbows. I hand my bows by the riser whether strung or unstrung.

Some believe that any laminant bow can be left strung. However, I usually take the individuals bowyers advice. My advice to you is to ask the bowyer of the specific bow in question.

Why take chances ? I stow my recurve unstrung .

I keep both the recurve and longbow strung. I wouldn't a self bow, but don't believe on the glass backed bows that it will matter.

I choose to follow the manufacturers' advice, along with fine gentlemans' who sold me my bow;), and store my recurve strung and hung by the fade outs.

i've had some bad experience leaving the bow strung...it was a cheapo takedown recurvepse impala that already had a little twist and it twisted more when i left it strung for about a week straight...but i think the very high humidity could have effected it as well....either way i plan on leaving mine unstrung....that way you dont have to worry about kids/people messin when you arent lookin.
