I used to hear about how you couldn't play something like squash, and tennis, because the stroke was different. I don't think that trad is anything like that, there isn't a poison pill in there somewhere that will wreck one or the other game. For instance I don't agreee that a bent elbow will wreck anything.

On the other hand, if you are at that point in your life were time is in any way limited, then you are basicaly cutting your practice in half. If you had 25 (250, whatever) hours to practice shooting last year, this year you will have 12.5 hours each. plus you will have twice the tuning and maintenance time. Eventualy this gets to be detrimental. At one point I was trying to shoot various kinds of archery competitively, and I was shooting several compounds in 3D since because of different rules. It just got to be too much.
