Assuming that you meant to say, "Is an undrawn bow considered to be under tension?" the answer to your question is yes. The reason for this is because bows are designed such that they are constantly under tension, even before being drawn, as this allows the bow to shoot further than if the bowstring was slack at the start. If the bow was unstrung (bowstring not attached to one or both ends of the bow) then it would be untensioned but a bow that simply has not been drawn yet is still tensioned.
