I shoot both, I shoot 65lbs at 30 inches witha compound and have a 45lb recurve. The weight on the recurve is measured at 28 inches and just gets higher as you go past that. Your draw length with the traditional will probably be shorter. I come in dead at 28 inches anchroing with my finger in the corner of my mouth.

Some of the form is the same, the need to maintain tension and not collapse at the shot, don't pull out the head to peek or drop the bow arm to peek.

You need to decide how you are going to shoot trad, instinctive or gapping. I do instinctive and its fun, you don't use anythign to aim with. Some folks use the arrow tip or a knuckle as a sight.

They are fun!! Ads a new dimension to scouting, we take the trad bows out and stump shoot as we scout. Its a blast.
