RE: Is there any shame.........
I shoot cross-dominant ...... impossible for a pin for me
Shoot whatever you like man. I like the challenge of instinctive shooting. Can you throw a baseball to someone 100 feet away ? Can you throw a football to a guy running a slant route ? Can you shoot a basketball on a fadeway from the baseline ?
If so ...... so you can shoot a recurve instinctively. Its just difficult, and time consuming to get good at.
A pin took you from so-so to really good in a hurry, right ? Add a mechanical release, some wheels and get REALLY accurate (compound) but uh ......... isn't that what you went AWAY from compounds ? The challenge ?
Do what you like ......... I'll likely shoot a compound this fall myself
