There are people who shoot both compound and recurve and do so successfully - Marcus26's wife is one notable example - but you'll find the initial transition easier if you stick the recurve in the bottom of the wardrobe for a while.

You'll also find that shooting compound will teach you a much greater understanding of back tension (which will help your recurve shooting should you ever swap back) and compound certainly teaches you how to aim properly.

If you're serious about changing, the best advice anyone can give you is "get the best advice". Even more so than with recurve, it's possible to waste a load of money on the wrong equipment and getting the basics right (e.g. getting the right draw length; correct use of a release aid; good stabilization etc) will pay huge dividends in terms of enjoyment and satisfaction.
