Recurve to Compound
I have hunted whitetails with a recurve for the past 14 years and at the age of 26 have finally bought my first compound. I loved hunting traditional but it takes its toll on the shoulders, elbow and back from holding all of the weight. I'm not giving it up but have always been interested in compounds. I was wondering if you guys had any tips on shooting, especially regarding hunting situations. What should I be practicing and how should I be practicing. My first week of practicing was complete frustration trying to retrain my body to shoot a compound. I kept releasing the second I got anchored, as you would a recurve, not so good when shooting a compound. I must have lost 3 or 4 arrows. After a few weeks I am getting the hang of it and grouping arrows (not watching them fly at 300 feet per second into four foot tall grass.) What I would like to know is what are some of your shot processes? What do you do first? What are you thinking? etc... I know the basics but would like to know what tips some seasoned compound hunters could give. Thanks!
