Bow storage method

Hey guys! So for context I shoot with an olympic recurve, and recently I was lucky enough to get a full-sized (~2m high) locker at my club to store my gear. Up until now I had to bring everything from home each time, stored nearly in my bow bag, then take 5-10 min to unpack everything and set up the bow before being able to start shooting. So having that locker is a blessing.

Now I was wondering, because of its size I could technically be able to store my bow unstrung in it standing up, only removing the sight, stabilizers and plunger. But would that be safe for the bow in the long term? I'm worried that having the weight of the bow pressing down on one limb all the time might not be good, and will affect the performance after some time. I usually come to shoot at least once a week, but I'm still wondering if that could be an issue. Would it be safer to fully disassemble it each time before storing it? How do you guys usually store your bow when you're not using it?

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

It seems that Shibuya and Axcel are the top end, so for anyone who has experience with either one of them, or preferably both, could you tell me the differences, pros and cons, and which one is the best value? i'm planning on buying the most expensive, so the Axcel Achieve XP - Recurve or the Shibuya Ultima RC PRO Carbon Sight . If there's any other top end sights you think are better, let me know. I want this to be the first and last sight that i ever buy, and price doesn't really matter. Another question, on the Shibuya there's an option for "Single mount" and "Double mount." What do those mean? And lastly, is the sight aperture on either of the sights suitable, or is there better after-market apertures that are better? I'm sort of thinking that is something I should be buying from my local shop so i can actually te...
