put away the compound for a while and try to forget about it. i did it a few months ago (and i was a great shot with it) when i first shot a recurve. the recurve was too fun to put down even though i couldnt hit anything. no sights, no rests, no stuff to worry about messing up and you dont need to close or squint one eye.. i havnt shot my hoyt dynatec for about 5 months and am ready to sell it and buy a good recurve. it will take time and lots of practice but eventually you will be a good shot maybe as good asthe compound. nice bow by the way.
