Here at Predator Recurves, we receive calls all the time asking how hard it's going to be to convert from compounds into shooting traditional recurves or longbows. Here's your answer.

Compounds are not even bows, so they can't be compared properly. Traditional bows use the archer to bend the limbs of the bow, compounds rely on pulleys and levers. Not to mention sites, stabilizers, mechanical releases, etc. One has been around for 40,000 years, the other since 1966. I cannot even call a compound a bow, they are just compounds. It is sad how compounds are soiling archery. They need to be in a separate category from bows.

@petrosspetrosgali Hey dude. I have been shooting recurves for years in an archery club, competed in countless competetions. Drawing and holding or drawing and then instantly releasing is a personal preference. I cant hit shit when i draw and instantly release, i have to draw, hold and then release to hit my target. You cant say one or the other is the "right way" to handle a trad. bow. Sorry bout bad grammer, im danish.

Its weird that the guy was shaking when drawing the recurve instead of drawing the compound. Compounds with hard cams take alot more effort to draw than a similarly weighted recurve in my opinion.

@goordo27 Transmissions can't compare for this topic, but no I don't like automatics, I drive stick. As for the bows and compounds, they are two different things, compounds are operated a lot like bows, but they are so fundamentally different that they are more of a new invention altogether than just a modern bow. If it doesn't store its energy from "bowing", how can it be a "bow"? Crossbows share more similarity to bows than compounds, but are operated differently.

@EthanJM Why are you such a technology hater. Just like everything on the planet, bows technology is ever increasing. So much to form a new species. Do you drive a car with an automatic transmission? If yes then theres an analogy for the same issue. Auto hasn't "soiled" manual transmission. Compound hasn't soiled traditional. Technology has only given us more options and opportunity to exceed limits archery never thought it'd reach. Open your mind man.

@EthanJM as much as i'm inclined to agree, since I shoot traditional english warbows, I have to disagree - a bow is a bow in my books, i don't think this is soiling archery at all. It's just an advance in technology in that particular field

All i heard was blah blah blah net, blah blah blah net, blah blah blah net netty net net net.

ok ok I get it thanks everyone,your comments and this video actually helped me decide on which bow to select and  my choice is both. the recurve is raw and brings out the user's inner talents to accomplish precision and the compound refines inner talent and co operates with the user to achieve precision they both will give me exactly what I need to be great archer

i noticed while using the recurve bow he was shaking

i want to get into archery and use a recurve bow but i want to know all there is to know

is it normal that he was shaking with the recurve or what?

@ChristX1337 he speaks with some reason though.

[EthanJM]

@ChristX1337 No, all guns have the same fundamental similarity that makes them guns, an explosive charge, a projectile, and source of ignition. Or you could even say expanding gas pushing a projectile down a barrel. Compounds and traditional bows operate much the same, but don't function the same to achieve results, and it is all in the name itself, "bow". One stores it's energy in limbs via bowing, the other is a machine with levers and pulleys.

[ChristX1337]

@EthanJM That is like saying a machine gun is not a gun and is just a machine.
