Thanks folks....

I appreciate all the excellent feedback. I am not looking at doing any hunting this year with a recurve, may not even next year. Figure the transition may take a little bit of getting use to and I am pretty serious about not hutning anything until I am 100% confident to a set range. Even after 23 years with a compound. I will not shoot past 25 yards, but that is my preference. If I didn't get with in 25 yards, I didn't do my homework well scouting and will try another day. I did take two really nice 7 pointers this year. One a small basket and the other was his Daddy. The rack are symetrically identical other than overall size.
Two of my books came in today. So I guess I will get started. From your answers and info, I now have a much better feel for what I am looking at and realized that I did better understand some of the research I have been doing. I think I was trying to make the switch more complicated than it really is. I had talked with one person a few years back, when I thought about going to a recurve and he quickly talked me out of it. Stating he tried and it was difficult and complicated and he said stick with a compound. So I did, but I think it is time to try it for myself.
The added bonus is that I also Teach Hunter's Education and it will help me better cover some of the difference between Traditional and Compound. So for me this is a win win.
Thanks again for the help and I will let you know how it goes. I am looking at getting a recurve sometime after the Holidays and to start shooting as soon as I can get something set up in my basement for winter.
Thanks
