My best advice is "don't get in the weeds". We've been doing it for 40,000 years.
Other than the fact that an arrow is ultimately launched, compounds and traditional bows don't have that much in common, or at least, shouldn't have. It's much like shooting a shotgun vs. shooting a rifle...one is a science and one is an art. Or even turning on the radio vs. playing guitar.
I like my Mathews compound and my Robertson longbow. I like my radio and I like my guitar. I like my rifles and I like my shotguns.
If I want to shoot a long way, I shoot my rifle. If I want to shoot fast moving targets, I use my shotgun. If I want to make music, I play my guitar. If I want to hear GOOD music, I turn on the radio. If I want to kill something, I use my compound. If I want to HUNT something, I use my longbow.
Now that I think about it...guitars, shotguns and traditional bows, while maybe not as effective, are just more fun.
