Do you leave your bow strung during the whole hunting season or do you unstring it after the hunt of the day??

I keep mine strung all year as long as I shoot it 2 to 3 times a week. If not I unstring it.

Unstring after every shooting.  Then again, I hunt with a horn composite, and they get weak if you leave them strung.

Unstring my longbow after use. My Recurve I'll leave strung for longer periods of time.

As others have said I leave mine strung as long as I'm shooting pretty regular.

I leave it strung during season. When hunting season is closed I unstring it if I don't think ill shoot in the next few days.

My recurves stay strung. I've seen more recurves damaged by stringing and unstringing than any other cause. Longbows, I usually unstring unless I know I'll be using it the next day.

It wont hurt a glass bow to leave it strung for long periods if its hung up properly ..... More recurve bows are damaged stringing them up than any thing else....

I hate stringing and unstringing my recurve. scares me every time

KirKll, what is hung up properly? I'm asking because I don't know.

Recurve7

Leave mine strung unless I know I won't be shooting for a few weeks. String/unstringing is where most  problems can occur. In fact, Norm Johnson with Blacktail bows recommends leaving them strung.

GreyGoose

I unstring every day.  Not necessary, but a habit born when everything I read told me it was.

mine all stay strung all the time. modern materials can take it easily.

recurves and longbows with glass are fine for it.

recurve and longbow, I keep them strung...as I shoot just about every day.....only time I unstring,  is to adjust brace height..
