Compound is easier to hold when it’s fully pulled back, recurve it’s hard the whole time, but either can be appealing

yeah i shot both so i had this explained to me + defintely sensed it !! honestly i like them equally in different ways, which makes it such a struggle bc i have to specialise soon :') my team rly wants me to do compound since they all do recurve, which i do find rly cool and fun but also i like that u feel more connected(? if that makes sense??) to recurve...also recurves arguably look cooler, but compounds technically perform better, etc etc im struggling sm to choose

#i only held a recurve 16lb bc im a novice but more than that im weak as fuck #and they set up a compound 20lb which is like. ik its light for a compound but it was heavy for me. also draw length took wayyy too long to #adjust properly so i was v inconsistent. went back to recurve bc our compound expert left #and found that they had dismantled my recurve for smth else so i had to hold a 22lb recurve which was also like #again ik its rly light for some people but my arms #were physically shaking by the end #we shoot for 3hrs straight without a break so i was dying a little. skill issue tbh #trying to get better tho !!!#asks #anon
