I have often considered switching to traditional gear, I think I could be very successful; if I hadn't torn up my shoulder about 8 years ago, I probably would have switched over, or at least be using both methods.

You know after I got used to shooting trad, it actually hurts to pull some modern compounds back. Its just different. If you look at the force curve on a compound, you are holding a lot of wieght in the biginning to middle. Where trad it doesn't kick in until the end of the draw and if your doing it right at that point, its all on your back.
Definatly different.
