Is a string groove on a recurve necessary? Advisable?

I agree with Brad. If the belly of the recurve is flat and the string runs perfectly down the center it probably isn't necessary. I always do it just in case. If the string slides off the limb it can reverse the bow and really cause problems.

If it contacts it, why not? Plus it's lighter.  ;)
