Can I leave my recurve strung?

[southpaw]

I've got a Samick Sage takedown. I expect I will shoot it pretty much daily. Should I be takiing it down with any regularity?

Leaving it strung won't hurt it

Only ones you're supposed to unstring is all wood limbs

It is fine to leave it strung! Just make sure you don't leave it strung in a hot place, car, hot garage, etc.. Also, make sure you store it laying flat or hanging horizontal. Don't store it standing in the corner!

Thanks guys. I'm glad I posted, it's standing in the corner right now. I'll remedy that when I get home.

Good information My son is wanting one of those for Christmas. He is a college student and he wants to go traditional.

I leave mine strung all the time. I think you can damage limbs more by stringing and unstringing than any other cause.

My longbow has been strung for over 15 yrs straight it was #56 when I built it. It's #55 now.
It hangs in the cave, nice even temperature all the time.

Keeping them away from heat is the big Key.
