De-string for off season?

Post by Deerstalker »

Should I de-string my CB for the off season or is that unnecessary??

Probably wouldn't hurt to let the limbs rest for a bit, if you don't plan on shooting for a while... Whether it's absolutely necessary? I doubt it.

After reading a few threads here when I receive my Xbow, I decided not to. It's been a year now that I've owned my Xbow and now issues, it still shoots the same speed and accuracy as it did from day one.

If you do, unstring it, be sure to remove the dissipator pads as the will split if left compressed.
