Nahhh....everyone is just different. Some folks need to get rid of the "crutch" to give it 100%, some have trouble distinguishing between the two when it's time to shoot (try to shoot one just like the other, and that can cause problems I think).

I still take a shot with a compound at our local club once a year or so--don't use the sights and shoot fingers though. I can't get over how much the things have changed in the last few years--looking less and less like a bow, and more like.......shoot, I dunno what they look like. I've thought about getting one that is long enough to shoot with fingers while I still can, in case I ever have to give up my longbow--afraid there won't be any such thing before long--then I think about it again, and just can't bring myself to do it. Hopefully I won't ever need to go that route.
