I choose compounds b/c it is what I know. I'm 28. When I started bowhunting at 13, compounds were already the rage and you couldn't find a recurve within 100 miles of here.

I enjoy shooting my compound. I have no desire to change. Sure, it would be "cool" to shoot a deer with recurve. But beyond that I have no boyhood fantasies of running through the woods with stick and string playing cowboys and indians.
