Old compounds are horrible to shoot. Bulky, slow, ugly, just horrible all round.
New compounds are fast, very very accurate and easy to shoot.

The difference between old and new recurves is not as distinct.

I shot a 10 year old marksman a couple of weeks ago, and it was very stable and although not exceptional still pretty quick.

A good recurve doesn't age IMO, a compound does.

Also I wouldn't trust anything with steel cables.
