I just want to welcome you to traditional. And please do not get discouraged by some of the recent posts that I felt were offensive. Please feel free to ask questions. There are a bunch of great people here who are more then willing to help and learn. There are many traditional archers who have moved to traditional from compound. Personally, I used to shoot recurve to start with in the late 70's early 80's, and then moved to compound for many years. I have been back to traditional now exclusively for a few years, and have trouble even looking at my compound which has been collecting dust for the past few years.
Be careful because the traditional bug bites hard, and you may find as many have that picking up the compound may be very hard to do.
Good luck on your journey, and keep posted, I at least am interested in hearing your questions, concerns, and experiences.
Bob
