I leave my bow strung unless I know I wont be shooting for a while.

I always unstring mine when done hunting or shooting.

All my vintage Bear’s are unstrung as I’m not shooting them everyday. My vintage Ben Pearson LB and Selfbow are unstrung as they also do not get shot a lot. But my 09 Samick Spikeman 50# recurve is always strung, as it gets shot almost daily

The bow I’m currently shooting I leave braced,,those I’m not are unbraced.

Unstrung and hung on a wall everytime.

I unstring my bow every time im done shooting you dont have to unstring your bow but its not like its difficult so might as well.

Most custom builders i’ve talked to say more bows are ruined by stringing/unstringing than by any other means. My bow stays strung unless i’m not going to be using it for a week or more.

Several years ago I phoned Norm Johnson Blatctail Bows, & asked him the same question. I’d just had him build me one of his bows & wanted to take care of it properly.
Norm told me as long as you are shooting it a couple times a week it won’t harm it to leave it strung (not in a car in the Sun!) he thought more bows are damaged by improper stringing & unstringing than by leaving them strung.
I follow Norm’s advise & if I’m shooting a couple times a week, I leave it strung.

i have left one bow strung for 9 years except when travling with it no harm no foul

The Martin gets shot daily and stays strung, the rest are in the basement unstrung and hanging up. I don’t mind doing it (stringing, unstringing) but it’s hard on the strings and from what I read here possibly the bow as well. At any rate, fieberglass gives us a choice the older folks didn’t have.
