I started shooting traditional in 1956 & killed my 1st deer in 1958 & another 37 animals b/4 switching to compound in the 70s. I dug out one of my old 60# recurves & plan on using it this coming year for a hog & a deer just for the heck of it.
Traditionakl does take more practice to be proficient (My opinion) but if you keep your shots @ 25 yds & under you should do just fine.
Some pics from back then 1958 through maybe 1965
