Storage for xbow

Post by armyds25 »

Does anyone take the string off once the season is done? does it affect the limbs or string?

No need to take the string off… do make sure your brace height doesn’t get too low. I shoot all four of my bows several times a week, so no issues with leaving the string on.

Leave the string on. It is somewhat like encouragement to shoot. Store it in a cool dry environment.

No need to remove string. But go for it if you desire. I do remove mine in December and keep unstrung until mid-summer. No harm, no change of POI after returning string.

I do remove the strings from ones I know I am not going to shoot till spring. Only my 90lb target bow has a string on it now because I shoot it in the house. It is lined up for outside if I decide to go to gun club to shoot it in the winter months. I just turn down scope 22 clicks for indoors where I shoot it.
