I like to say that it's like learning to shoot with a .22lr or a 30-06. I know which one I'd rather shoot 100 rounds through in an afternoon......

I'm personally a holder and gap aimer with trad and compounds. Holding for any length of time for me with a bow over 45-50# = the shakes after a dozen or so shots. My form breaks down and accuracy suffers. So most of the time I shoot my 30# limbs indoors at leagues etc and switch to the heavier ones when I go outdoors. Whenever I have a hitch in my shooting the light limbs come out and I sort out the issue before switching back. I think the sooner one figures out shooting well with trad gear is more about finesse than brute strength the sooner he will start shooting to his potential.
