I have to agree. I am as re-new to as can be. Once I started shooting my bow yesterday I kept it up even though I could see my groups deteriorating because i was getting tired. I had to force myself to stop so i wouldn't start to ingrain bad habits. The recurve (haven't deteched myself to the long bow yet) was just so smooth and to draw and relase. Much more natural feeling. I did not get home until after dark today. I felt ripped off because I could not shoot.
