I've been shooting recurves and longbows for a l-o-n-g time. I like making selfbows and, recently, laminated glass longbows. I LOVE shooting sticks. But arthritits and other physical problems have caught up with me and I don't shoot so good with 'em any more. Letoff on compounds lets me shoot fingers/no sights just as good as I ever shot sticks. When I feel like shooting my longbows, I shoot 'em. When I'm feeling puny, I shoot the wheels. Whatever turns my crank on any particular day is what I shoot.
Don't be bumming out over it. There are a lot of other people floating in the same boat you are.
