just cause a weapon takes longer to master doesnt mean squat day or a month no biggy just like a car automatic you aint driving a real truck or car but now a manual thats a real vehicle not a slob driver...but i do think recurve and longbows are in a class by them selves guess cause the letoff factor and the range and the time they took to be proficiant with them...two weeks to a month you will be able to hunt with compound or crossbow

but the again i think the browns will win the superbowl before i die
