Off season

[Zombie]

Do you remove the string for the off season or not?

[BrotherRon]

I don't. I just check every few weeks to make sure the string isn't getting to close to the bumpers.

[sproulman]

I do even if I shoot a few times a month but thats just me ..

[nyexhunter]

Yes
Hang it up for the off season. Figure that it's easy to do and can't hurt, so why not. Easy to put back on when I need to.
I love my crossbow for hunting, otherwise it is like a tool for me such as a hammer to be put away until time to use again.
I have too many other things that I do during the other seasons - such as fishing, golfing, traveling, etc.
I do, however, understand those that keep it strung all the time and like to shoot all the time - to them I say go for it; that's just not me.

I normally remove the string from my crossbows, but I didn't last year and ended up shooting a lot more through the spring and summer. I haven't decided what I'm going to do this year.

I have never unstrung any of my Excalibur's offseason since the first one I purchased in 1991. Nothing negative was noted I might add.

[Boo]

Any bow I hunt with or shoot I leave strung up all the time. I do not remove a string for the sake of the limbs or string. It's just more convenient to store a bow without a string.

There is an off season ????

Strings never come off here either.
Never an issue as I recall. Lots of Bows, and strings.
Just never remove them until they need to be replaced.
About every 500 shots.

[wildcatter]

My bows are always strung, I don't drain the gas outa my truck's when I ain't driving them for months either, but I shoot year round,, I would never let golf get in the way of real sports,,,,,

[Pinpoint]
