CF bow durability & tension

So I have a new Coda Revelation. Fun bow, very easy to play.

The question is... if it's so tough (which is one of the big reasons why I bought it), would it be ok to leave it tension for several days as opposed to wood bows in which you're not supposed to leave them tensioned or else lose camber?

I typically detension after I'm done but if I'm practicing all day, I just leave it tensioned til I'm completely done. What say you sages of the stick o'pain?

Just wondering.

The hair itself would risk being stretched.

I did that with a cheapo CF bow, but it was one stiff stick.
