Well Petey pretty much stated it.

Traditional is long or recurve in my opinion. Some of the newer "compounds" are pretty easy to shoot... maybe as easy as a crossbow.. and a whole heck of a lot quicker to shoot twice. But a crossbow is still a bow. And the bow guys that are fired up about the crossbows are 90% compound shooters. What don't they get? They want to get all fired up..have the game commission do away with crossbows AND any kind of compounds sights and release aids at the same time. Think they'd scream over that? As Petey said 2 different styles of shooting. But if I was gonna hunt with a bow..it would be plain recurve. No sights no release aids. Real bow shootin. And as has been said about 30 yds is it for the average shooter with no high tech stuff to make it easier. Bow shootin takes a LOT of practice...for a long period of time
