Leaving bow strung

[Andrewlonghi]

I have a Tbow 19” riser with Uukha gobi 45lb limbs. Heading to Alabama in the morning to hunt for the next week. How long can I leave my recurve strung and not damage the limbs?

Years. I have bows that I have not unstrung for years. No issues.

I will just add one caveat. This advice is for modern laminated bows, with fiberglass or carbon limbs. It also assumes its being stored in an appropriate way (not leaning in a corner or in a hot shed, etc)

Self bows and even some old fiberglass bows should likely be unstrung for storage.
