There is no reason why you can't shoot both types of equipment well if you are willing to put in the time that is required to attain the amount of skill you desire. A few years ago I shot both in 3-d and did pretty well I usually palced in the top 3 in both calsses that I shot in that happened to be A in recurve & AA in compound it just got to be more like work than fun. Now I just shoot my Recurve and have a ball don't even miss the compound.
