I know several fellows who would not hunt with anything but a take down recurve. Some guy in Montana makes them and they are not cheap. One friend sticks with a longbow and is usually effective. They just don't care for the gadgets and gizmos of a high tech compound. One such archer told me that if you don't buy the newest latest greatest compound each year you are considered to be behind the times.

I too am a confirmed traditionalist archer. Partially it is due to all the time I spent goofing off in the SCA, but mostly it is because the weird let off on the compound draw has always thrown my form off and I can't hit worth a damn with a compound. My recurve I'm pretty good with, even won a contest once.
The other thing is that I'm just too cheap to want anything that would require buying all new gear every year just to keep up with the Joneses.

A traditional bow offers more forgiveness than a compound because it is taller. The advantage to a compounds is that it is smaller and can be carried around and into a treestand a lot easier. I wouldn't say there is too much more satisfaction in taking game with a traditional rather than a compound. They are both great methods of hunting.
