Default Rookie question

I've been shooting my Grizzly a lot lately and have a question. I shoot anywhere from 3 to 5 days a week, is it okay to leave the bow strung all the time? Is there a rule of thumb as to when you need to unstring it? Thanks in advance!!

You should be okay leaving it strung. Stow it by hanging it by the string from two pegs or nails. If you're not going to be shooting it though, I'd let it down.

Get a second and third opinion though.

I leave my recurve strung all of the time, regardless of how much I am shooting it. The only time I unstring it is when it gets wet (so I can take it apart to dry out the limb pockets) or when I will be traveling.

I generally lay mine flat on the floor when I am not shooting it, but hanging it horizontal on pegs should be ok as well.
