Like I said, I went to traditional because I had trouble with sights, etc. If I couldn't shoot it well enough to be confident when hunting, I'd try something else.

Jordan went straight to the majors primarily (IMO) because he is Michael Jordan. Shortly after that, he went to the minors because he wasn't up to par--and he'd played a lot of baseball. No shame in that, evidently he just had a knack for basketball. He loves to play golf too, but he's not on the PGA.

Using sights or a sighting system doesn't turn a tradtional bow into a compound. Sights, gap shooting, etc. were around a long time before compounds bows were invented.

They can be a big help in getting started--some folks don't stay interested very long when they get frustrated by a lack of accuracy. There's a lot more to it that just putting the pin on the spot, but that can remove one variable so you can narrow down particular problems to work on.
