Leaving bows strung?

Just received a horsebow. It's hard to string, so I think I intend to leave it strung, unless I know I'm not gonna shoot for a while.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

I appreciate all the feedback; I guess I should have done a search & would have seen it's like 6 of one, half a dozen of another.  I never worry about stringing a Morrison or Hall Navajo because their limbs just seem so stout.  I've got a couple others, tho, that the limbs seem a little fragile & I do take alot of care making sure the cup is just right (I seldom use a Selway stringer unless its for a hybrid - I always use cupped stringers for recurves but I guess that's another choice!)  Thanks you guys & sorry for re-asking a basic question.

Curveman is totally correct. If it's got glass or carbon in the limbs being strung won't hurt. Never leave it strung in a hot car. Don't leave a selfbow strung after you shoot it.

Chalk another one up for leaving it strung. I keep it laying flat on the top shelf in my closet. I figure as long as a I shoot it fairly often then there's nothing to worry about.
