That is a totally stupid idea. Compounds take alot of practice and dedication to get good at.(Just like anything)Just because we dont shoot bows that look like braches with strings attached doesnt make us sissys. My cousin had the same perspective on compounds and tried to convince me not to buy one. His thought is that all you have to do is point and shoot. Well I got my bow and when he had a chance to shoot it he did and he said, Man thats hard to shoot! So Im like haha told you so. But we now both respect each others prefereces on bow types. He likes trads. I like compounds. But we both love archery and I think that is what really matters.
