I went to compound simply because the amount of time I had to shoot disappeared, and I found it difficult to get on with the recurve. After 24 arrows my form disappeared as I got tired. With the compound I could get through 60 arrows no problem.
When I shot regularly (ie once a week), I found I could just about go the distance on a full FITA.
As has been said above - it's different and has its own challenges. But I have enjoyed the tinkering.
