Traditional archery is a lot more challenging and, IMO, more fun! I started shooting recurves and longbows about 7 years ago and have only shot half a dozen arrows through my compound since then.
An old friend of mine, and one of the best shots I knew once told me that the average traditional shooters can shoot on par or better than a compound shooter for about 12 shots. After that your groups will start to open up because instinctive shooting requires so much concentration. Try to shoot only about 30 min. at a time and really focus on form and follow through. What is the poundage on the bow and the spine of the arrow?
Try to make it to the traditional shoot at McAlester this year, usually the first weekend in August. It's the biggest one in the area, draws people from the surrounding states and is a great way to get some good advice.
