My question I guess is: Does it matter if a bow is strung or not when not in use.

I never string mine unless in use!

i believe that a self bow or all wood laminate bow should be unstrung when not in use so it doesn't take a set. i have read where some owners of glass bows do not mind keeping their bows strung. i unstring all my bows when not in use. don

Store'em unstrung.

the only bow i dont unstring is the ole whitetail hunter wheely my old man gave me. its been strung for 40 years probably...

I always unstring all my bows.  Try to use a stringer too.

The glass laminate bow I shoot daily stays strung....and ready for use (others I unstring). All my wood or self bows I store unstrung.

keep it unstring when you are not using it. so that you can use the bow with its orginal draw weigth longer.

best.

Thanks guys very helpful
