Default Does a recurve go bad?

Maybe a dumb question, but....

I bought a Bob Lee recurve years ago, got good with it, killed a deer, took it out the next year and missed three deer. Haven' t shot it since - went back to the compound. That was two years ago. It' s been in the basement in a case ever since. Wondering if the limbs or the riser would dry out and lose strength or if there is any reason to believe the limbs would break? Thanks for the input.

it might loose its mojo, but it shouldnt go bad as long as its not cracked, in pieces, or looses tiller, you' ll be fine.

Well, I' m not so sure.... After being unfairly blamed for you blowing three seperate shots on deer and then being unceremoniously dumped for a clankbow, it just might take an attitude and seek revenge. Spurned recurves can be viscious!
