A compound shooter likely can shoot a crossbow quite well after 30 minutes of shooting but not a recurve.
Wanna bet? I'd bet a week's check I can hit the 10 ring from 20 yards with a crossbow within 5 minutes.
A crossbow shooter likely can shoot a compound quite well after 30 minutes of shooting but not a recurve.
Wanna bet again? Perhaps he might put a few shots into the target, but unless he is the Michael Jordan of archery, its going to take much longer than that to get him ready for deer season.
I have not shot a recurve bow since 1978, but I bet I can hit the kill zone of a deer size target with a recurve more times than the guy who shot the crossbow, who is now trying the compound bow, within that 30 minute time frame.
