I think a clubs general "ethos" for want of a better word may influence bow choice. At Pines Park, NFAS, Myself and Sarah are the only regular compounder's. Flat-bows, and re-curve barebow rule. I doubt if I see more than 4 or 5 compounds at club shoots. Yet when we hold an open shoot, compounder's form a sizable majority of entries.
