Compound Bow
Mabye someone could help me with this. I have a compound in with the string and the limbs etc. in fairly good condition, won't be using it for a while, a couple of years at least. So I was wondering if it was put into storage,probly in an attic or somewhere warm and dry, would the string need to be replaced before long bearing in mind it is not been shot at all while in storage. I was wondering because I'av asked a few people and I'am getting conflicting answers. Some said the tension on the string would be negligable and the bow could be stored indefinitly while others said it would have to have a new string put on before too long.

Re: Compound Bow
I'am not sure of the exact figures. Although I have been shooting it for a little over a year now I bought it second hand with no documentation and no markings on the bow itself. I think the draw weight it is set at is mabye around 65lbs. The maximum I think may be 110-120lbs.
