Keeping Crossbow Strung

I enjoy shooting my crossbows at home, and have yet to unstring them. (I've got the Excalibur Phoenix and Point Blanc....both recurves). Do I really need to give them a rest and unstring them?

I don't think so. I have kept my Horton recurve crossbow strung for 3 years without noticing any problems.

Excalibur Video

This is an Excalibur video on when to unstring your recurve crossbow. I thought it might help to clear up this question. Its under the title "should you unstring" (section 1, 5th item down).

I usually replace my string once a year so at that time it is unstrung for about a week...once a year.
