I messaged him and let him know, his response was "Are you sure?"

do you think that if it was strung and fully drawn like this, even a few times, that it would lose some structural integrity?

If you left it like that for a while, would it reflex the bow a bit?  Maybe a sorta good thing-- as long as you don't draw it ::) ::)

Glass bows don't move like that.

I'm just looking on my phone wondering why somebody at the archery range doesn't tell him but it almost looks like the rest of those bows are strung backwards to. Hard to tell on my phone are they?

I'll string a twisted recurve like that for a few months when they have a twist in the limb. Most of the time the twist will come out if you do. And I love people that string their bows to shoot that way. I usually get to buy them cheap when they think they have a piece of crap.
