Great post rybo.
After this past deer season in which i shot three deer with my compound, i got the trad bug. I dont think i even touched my compound since the season closed, but shoot my recurve every day. Just this last weekend i picked up the compund just for giggles and shot better groups then i could possibly imagine ever shooting with my recurve, then put it back. Shooting a compound is not easy, but certainly less difficult than the trad gear,but i could see how someone could go without a serious practice scedule and still be very proficient with it.
Of course there are a few variables with my situation. Before all this tra stuff i shot my compound as hard core as i am shooting my recurves now. Also there could just be a constant connection with archery in general, shooting every daycould help me keep aware of both types of the sport. Beats me...
