Unstring?

[Captain*Kirk]

I unstring all my bows each and every time I'm through shooting. With a good stringer like the Selway it takes all of 10 seconds...why not?
Besides, nobody ever dry-fired an unstrung bow.

[LBR]

Other than selfbows, mine stay strung.  They are stored out of reach of kids, animals, and strangers.

I was told by my bowyer to unstring my bows. So I do what the man says.
