I completely understand the traditional bug. It bit me hard this year too. I now find myself carrying my recurve into the woods 99% of the time. I still enjoy shooting my compound but there is just something about my recurve that I love. It is probably the same reason I shoot my flintlock muzzleloader instead of breaking down and buying a nice fancy in-line. To me it is like stepping back in time every trip into the outdoors with either my recurve or my flintlock. A sort of connection with my ancestors I guess.
