I wasn't familiar with the question you posed so I checked with my husband, an avid hunter. After his thorough explanation (which I think is pointless in reiterating after reading Chris' response) came down to a matter of your own preference due to safety concerns that could arise due to either option. Bottom line--Chris provides excellent insight as to why it's best to while also confirming that breaking down also requires experience on your end as well. So whatever you feel most comfortable with.

You may get several answers on this and they will likely disagree but I have over 40 different bows and shoot weekly -- I have two of the bows in question used in my summer camp. If the bow is shot frequently (one or two times a week) you will not damage the bow by leaving it strung. When unstrung, the limbs come out of the riser (grip/handle) on this bow and you have a clutter of bits that the handy storage case will not address. However, leaving the bow strung can be dangerous such that it is under considerable tension and some component could fail injuring a near-by individual AND a potential weapon is active for use or misuse. And then again, there is potential for mishap every time a bow is strung or unstrung, especially if done by less experienced users. In the end, you need to balance your convenience against the dangers and decide what is best for you. For long-term storage, we break down all of our bows, which suits our needs best.

It's what you rest the crossbow on while shooting instead of holding it. It gets heavy after a bit.

Sometimes the package is unopened but damaged. Always inspect the product. If its damaged call amazon and they will help. My bow came with a broken arm and the arranged for a return. They sent me another that has no issues.

No you cant keep the quiver on the bow. There is places to mount another quiver mount to the case but the mount is not included since they are all different. I just used an extra velco strap and it works well. I did this for my release as well.

I don't have a recurve but most likely... It is a much larger case than expected and think for something as compact as a recurve(especially with detachable limbs) I would look for something much smaller. I bought it for a Mathews ZXT with parallel limbs and there is a TON of extra, unused space. Just my 2 cents!

I have 2 bows hanging on it just fine and all out arrows it fits nicely in our game room. if you buy one and notice cracks in the main uprights thats normal, read page one of the directions it explains it!!

Its not intended to ever be replaced, but I was able to with some craftyness. Look in the 1-star reviews for the pics I uploaded doing this. (1star because of this issue exactly, otherwise very nice bow).

I recommend using a cardboard box or a bail of straw. We used a the box from a new larger flat screen TV. To save the arrow when removing, place you hand on the target with the arrow between index finger and thumb. Pull arrow straight back. As for the price of arrows, if the bow is getting good use then splurge for the carbon fiber arrows. They will last. Hope this helps.

I agree with the other comments, make sure to completely dry it before storing and store it where there is no moisture. I haven't had any problems with the one I got.

When I purchased my strings, I noticed that they were too long for my bow. What I did was take the string and tie little knots in them to shorten it. It does not harm the bow or alter the integrity of the string. I hope this helps.

The bow doesn't come off. I constantly throw it and drop it and pull on it, and it doesn't come of.

Yes it is removable I replaced mine with bow fishing setup and use a hip quiver

I use a cloth padded case. Probably a matter of how much rough treatment the bow gets when not in use.

The arrows I purchased are stored away. I don't remember seeing a difference between these and the others I have.

I didn't seem to have a problem with this when i set it up. Unfortunately I do not have access to my bow where i am today but my quiver is very secure with the bolts that came with the product.

No. This rest is designed for compound bows. To mount this on your recurve, you mould have to drill and tap holes into the riser/ grip. This process could ruin the integrity of bow itself.

It clearly says it on there not to leave it out. But I have no where to store it so I have left it out for 5 months, but I also live in California where we have no seasons. I am sure for the price you pay, you probably want it to last so keep it in the garage :)
