Why...

"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

- Tao Te Ching, 77, A new translation by Victor H. Mair

Back in the 50's and 60's it was common for folks to store their recurves with the string backwards like that. I've seen it a lot in the past but dont recall anybody saying the reason. Just my past experience though

on a recurve it doesn't hurt it.the string is long enough.if you try to pull it,the string will pop off.it looks bad,but the bow is not being hurt.
