As for compound versus recurve, yeah, bang on Tully. That's why I prefer the recurve. I built up my resistance training, so its not so much a problem anymore. But I don't actually hunt with my bow, heh.
You can build up resistance with a compound too, just up the torque and poundage. The pull, release, repeat.

When I first got my Eagle I torqued it up to the max and pulled on it thinking "no prob." Yeah, right! Took a few months to get where I could draw it up in one slow smooth motion. Slow steady motion is everything in Elk hunting (that and odor.) I swear they can see stuff behind them.
