I shoot trad bows most of the time, but decided to try a compound this summer because of a shoulder problem. When I finally gained enough information and experience to adapt my basic trad style to the compound I found I could shoot it pretty well. I use a bare finger release (no glove or tab, just fingers) and have done so for many years. I couldn't get the hang of a release, so I finally found a 3 finger draw / 2 finger release using my regular anchor point would work. I had to adjust to keep the compound vertical to use the sights correctly, but I finally got that down. Switching back to a trad bow and shooting instinctively has been no problem for me, but I've been shooting that way for 40+ years. Jumping back to the compound finds me mentally talking myself through the shot sequence, but it works.
