Bill raised an interesting point for me. I only shot compounds for about 8 months before I switched to traditional. But I could never shoot the compound as much as the trad bow before I would tire. The compound was 58lbs. and the trad bow I started with was 45lbs, but quickly moved to a 50lb longbow. Can anyone explain why I can take 200shots/day with the longbow, but was exhausted after shooting about 100 shots with the compound? I've heard other trad shooters say the same thing. Does it have something to do with the difference in force draw curve? I would have thought the letoff of a compound would allow for more extended shooting.
