I agree with JimP. At this point you should become intimately familiar with the bow you intend to use. Shooting a compound is a different process than shooting a recurve. You need to commit to one. As a recurve shooter I can say that there is no difference in the difficulty of hunting with a compound vs. a recurve. However, I've got to generally let them get closer in order to be confident in a good hit with a recurve. And shooting any bow well is all about confidence.
