Hi Toxic.... Yes I've shot compounds in the past, but they were 65% let off. Here is my perspective on your answer. With a recurve, the 60 pounds I have to hold start to feel like 62,65, 70, 80 pounds in no time. I've NEVER felt that kind of pressure with a compound...
But all that aside... who cares about editing, there is NO comparison between a compound and a recurve and to have some folks complain about 20% holding weight and the crossbow to me is a little disengenuous, when those of us who shoot longbows are holding the actual weights and MUST draw when the animal is in a shooting lane where compounds have a much broader latitude... so much so in fact, that the comparison with crossbows is relevant.
Aloha...
