RE: Do you use both ?
I didn't start using compounds until the early 80's. Hunted with them a few times, but I shot them mostly in competition. I never laid aside my stickbows though. I've got a really nice Hoyt ProTec stashed away in it's case under my bed right now. It hasn't even seen light of day except for routine cleaning and maintenance in nearly 2 years. I'm putting it on Ebay pretty soon. I'm donating all my old compounds and accessories to the archery club. Getting rid of it all. Not because I've got anything against compounds. It's just that I don't do competition any more and I simply enjoy shooting a recurve or longbow SO much more than fiddling with a compound.
Oh yeah... books. "Become the Arrow" by Byron Ferguson. He shoots longbow, but his aiming method works equally well for recurves and barebow compound.
