RE: feeling OVERWHELMED
Get yourself a used recurve. It' s medicinal. When you' re feeling overwhelmed by the technical aspects of the game, pick it up and just go fling some arras. Not only is it a heck of a lot of fun and damned good exercise for building back muscles needed for back tension, but it helps you appreciate just how accurate your compound is and will help you appreciate the ease of accuracy you get with your compound. The downside is that you might end up liking it so much you eschew the compound completely.
