RE: sights?
If that's what works for you, go for it. I never have used sights on a trad bow--honestly (and don't take this as a slam--its' not) one of the reasons I went to trad bow was to get away from sights, stabilizers, release aids, etc. The reason being Murphy's Law works overtime with me, and the less I have on my bow, the less chance I have of something breaking, moving, getting loose, rattling, etc. I was only using one pin on my compound when I last shot one, but there was too much other stuff to worry with.
Sights on recurves was a common thing several years ago, and seems to be making a bit of a comeback. Don't let anyone dictate what is "traditional" to you--you aren't shooting for their pleasure. The only thing is you may not be allowed to use sights if you shoot in a tournament.
Good luck!
