Hedhuntr,

I have been shooting compounds for 10 years and Recurves for 3 1/2 years.
I go back and forth all the time with no problem.
I credit Rick Welch's Instructional Video more than any factor for shooting a recurve as well as I do. Not that I'm great, lol.
Rick shoots three under and uses a two point anchor with his thumb knuckle touching his ear lobe and cock feather on the arrow touching the tip of his nose.
Rick fletches his own arrows so the cock feather touching his nose is measured for him and a little more precise.
But the factory feathers on my ACC arrows seem to work with this anchor for me just fine and seems to be about the right length when touching my nose.
Using Rick's anchor, I have always been able to shoot a 3" to 4" group at 20yds since day one.
I consider this pretty good shooting for a recurve with no sights or peep like my compound has.
I'm not nearly as good as Rick since he's a world champion but it's not too bad for me.
I can quit shooting my recurve for several months at a time and come back and be consistant using Rick's anchor.
I guess, this sounds like a plug for Rick Welch.
Yes, it is in a way but I truly believe in the man's method of shooting.
If other traditional shooters followed Rick's advice, they would be more successful hitting what they're aiming at whether it's targets or more importantly...Hunting!
Just my humble opinion.
I love my compounds but they aren't half as much fun or satisfying as shooting a Recurve or Longbow.
