Flemish twist strings stretch. A few twists to shorten will fix you right up.
Compounds weren't even a twinkle in the eye of Holless Allen back in the day when I killed my first deer with a Ben Pearson recurve. People shot pins on their traditional bows all the time. Having someone tell you to not use one is horsesh*t. If it makes you more accurate, use one and don't pay any attention to the opinions of others. Archery is a big tent (although I don't think that crossbows are bows, they are guns that shoot arrows but that is another discussion entirely).
Besides, chicks dig guys who shoot traditional bows. They are typically well endowed, witty, intelligent, and humble.
