A wood bow will last a life time if it is looked after properly.

I have a recurve that I was given for my 15th birthday (I'm now 52) and it still shoots as good as the day I got it.

I always unstring a bow when it's not in use.


The only problem I see with buying used is you never know how the bow has been treated by the previous owner specially the ones on fleabay:)

Always ask if there is any limb twist or cracking of the finish and if the seller has a return policy.
What happens if you don't unstring your bow? Will it ruin the limbs? Also, how do you string and unstring your recurve without breaking something?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm all new to traditional archery...:D

Keeping a bow strung for extended periods of time without shooting it gives the limbs memory which will effect the poundage of the bow.

it can also lead to limb twist.

With a stringer it is the safest way to string and un string a LB or Recurve;)
