Topic: Laminated bow brace time?

I've read some stuff about it being better to leave a laminated fiberglass recurves strung then to subject them to the risk of bending a limb by constantly bracing and un-bracing.  I understand that a traditional Korean horn and sinew bow should not be left strung for long periods of time.

But what of the new laminated fiberglass Korean bows, can they be left strung for long without damage?

Re: Laminated bow brace time?

You do not want to leave modern laminate bows strung for prolonged periods if you can help it. If you string and unstring them competently, you won't damage them either.

I hope that helps. smile

Thanks for your reply CTR.  I use a stringer for my recurves to be safe but my Kaya KTA requires some skill to string and unstring safely.
