All good advise.

I would also recommend getting with someone you respect that is expericed with Trad equipment or reading any of the good books out there.

I went from a compound to a recurve and the transition was much smoother and more fun because I learned how to shoot instinctively using Jay Kidwell's "Instinctive Archery".

If I had just winged it I think I would have had a much harder time making a succesful transition. Now shooting either bow is fun and I am accurate with both.

Good Luck.
