RE: Compound and Traditional Archery
 

DK, shoot what you want, there's room in our wonderful sport for everyone! I know a couple ppl near me that keep & shoot both c-pounds & stickbows. One guy does pretty good w/both & the other is mediocre at best w/either. In my personal experience, I never really got the hang of shooting a stick till I sold the hi-tech stuff. I was using it as a crutch; when things weren't going good w/the recurve I'd go in the house & grab the compound to satisfy my wounded ego. <img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle> After I sold it I HAD to work thru my shooting troubles, so I stuck with it & really started to progress. I've never regretted selling that bow, & never looked back. This is just one instance & I'm sure lots of ppl can do very well with both bow types. And there's nothing in the world wrong w/putting sights on your curve, actually that used to be very common practice. I do think you owe it to yourself to give it a honest effort w/out em (sights) tho. You'll never realize what you'd be missing if you don't! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I shoot both and enjoy each one.
But I'm finding my recurves are more fun.
As far as price, I prefer my recurves since I shoot a custom Bowman compound. It cost quite a bit more than my recurves.
Over $1500.00 with accessories.
I'm so glad I don't have to put out $600.00 for a sight, rest, and stabilizer on my recurves!
Just string them up and go shoot.
