nope I wouldn't touch it never store a trad. bow strung. It can warp the limbs or put stress on them in ways they werent designed to handle. I would Be afraid of it snapping completely when you fix his mistake and try to draw it back.

I wasn't thinking of buying it. I just wanted to see if that was something I didn't know about or if it was a Doh! moment.
I still wonder if he is selling because he couldn't get it to shoot. Jim |

It's likely he put the string on backwards just to keep it handy, so as not to misplace it. Not much tension on the bow. No big deal IMHO.

I agree with Fbuckshot. The string on my recurve is only about 1 inch shy of slipping on the bow that way. Wouldn't put much pressure on the limbs at all. Would I store mine that way, No. Would I be worried about the one for sale, No.
