About the only thing that can go wrong with a modern traditional bow is that the limbs can become severely twisted rendering the bow dangerous to shoot. In fact the old over-the-ankle-and-under-the-knee stringing method has probably destroyed more bows than anything else (except, perhaps, slamming a tip in the car door). To prevent twisting, recurves should always be strung and unstrung with a proper stringer. Twisting is much less of a problem with longbows, but it doesn't do any harm to use a stringer on them also. At NZAP we offer a free stringer with every new recurve we sell, so if we forget to offer you one, be sure to ask for it.

QUICK TIP
Unstringing (or Not Unstringing) Traditional BowsBelieve it or not there is no reason (other than convenience in transport and storage) to unstring a modern traditional bow every time you use it. Back in the good-old days of solid wood bows, an unstrung bow would quickly "follow the string" becoming permanently bowed and losing power. With today's materials and adhesives, however, this is no longer a problem and most fibreglass/wood laminated recurve and longbows can be left strung between shooting sessions. Just make sure your strung bow isn't subjected to heat or humidity and don't stand it in a corner. Store it horizontally, either on a shelf or hanging by the string on hooks. Naturally, if you aren't going to shoot for a few days, you should unstring your bow and store it properly.
