Topic: Bow String Storage

I'm a little curious, since I spend a lot of time travelling with my bow so I'm always taking it down and packing it up, how do people normally store their bowstrings once they're off the bow?

Re: Bow String Storage

I just take mine off the nocks and wrap the string around the limbs.  I then put it all into the bow sock.

Re: Bow String Storage

Good to know.  Is keeping the twist consistent a big concern for you, or is it not such a critical issue?

Re: Bow String Storage

If you have tuned your bow/arrow set-up and have adjusted your brace height by shortening or lengthening (twisting or untwisting) your string, then YES you need to take measures to keep the string as it is. What I do, if I remove the string, is clamp/tie, (whatever) the loops together so the string does not become twisted more, or less than what you have tuned it to.

Re: Bow String Storage

Right, that's my main concern.  At the moment I just store mine in a little zippered bag, since I don't have a case for most of my bows, but I'm always interested in something a little more clever.

Re: Bow String Storage

Personally, I don't worry too much about the string.  When I string my bow, it's all kind of second-nature.
