I would really like to see what a recurve bow or even an old long bow would be like shooting, but would be scared to death of losing an arrow into parts unknown.
My first few shots were terribly off. BUT ....... thats the allure of trad shooting. If I wanted to shoot 1/2" groups at 500 yards I'd use a rifle. if I wanted to shoot 3" groups at 40 yards I'd shoot a compound. Its about the challenge of shooting - the dicipline to make an arrow go where I want it to without anything mechanical aiding me.
I killed a squirrel 2 days ago - I drew back, focused, shot and missed the first shot by maybe 6". The second shot I did the same, and double lunged that sucker. Stepped it off - 27 yards. I was more tickled with that shot and kill than any deer I ever shot with a compound, including a couple of P&Y ish bucks.
