Anyone have the pros and cons? merits and pitfalls?

One is good and one is better and this depends on the view of the person shooting it and but both can win in their own class

For longer distances and against a mostly static target, the compound is the better choice. For snap shooting, wing shooting, shooting a moving object, or shooting on the move, the recurve or longbow is vastly superior. I enjoy shooting my longbows infinitely more than the compound, but face it, I'm not taking a 40 yard shot at a deer with my longbow nor am I going to compete in a field shoot with all those really long targets with it. If it's spot-and-stalk in close cover, no question it's the longbow. If it's setting up at the edge of a field, no question it's the compound.

I like the challenge and raw nature of the recurve. something about it when shot time comes that just flows. no checklist like my compound. pull, aim, release. I do like the compound for pin point shooting at longer ranges. I'm good to about 25 yds with a recurve, 60 with the compound.
