Unfortunately I may be heading in the opposite direction, at least for elk season.
My mid 50# longbows are starting to reek havoc on my old surgically repaired and arthritic shoulder. Yesterday for the first time in my 63 years I shot a compound for more than a shot or two. After maybe 30-40 arrows I realize I can keep hunting elk but I am going to have to head into a world of archery that is totally foreign to me.
Fortunately I was at an archery shop that understood why I was there and patiently set up a nice bow for me to shoot on their range. Of course, I'll probably have to sell three bows to pay for it unless I can find a used one in my old man specs.
just remember you can shoot a compound instinctively.... many did for years when they came out. I have also. You can just get a good compound and keep on rocking. No need for 150 buck sights, releases, peeps etc...
