Ok. I'm read up now. So here's why I had a good laugh...
My primary and backup compound bows are LASERS. Most folks would love to have these setups, however owning them has caused a real bad case of IshouldprobablyjustleavemybabieshangingontherackandnevertouchthemagaincauseIdontwantanythingtopotentiallygetknockedoutofplace. This was almost manageable. But I recently came down with an absolute hatred for caring for wet gear after a rain.
In an attempt to remedy both of these afflictions, I began looking into traditional archery a few months ago. The simplicity and ruggedness are what gets me. Seems I can get an ol stick-&-string wet AND drop it out of a tree (or let someone else look at it with their hands) and not be in mourning for days afterward. What's not to love about that setup?
So, since I have nothing else to tinker with at the moment... I went ahead and picked up a recurve. It's been fun so far. I've really been trying to implement a lot of what Tom Clum and Clay Hayes are saying. To my surprise, I'm doing pretty dern good at 15yds (ask
@GCTerpfan). What was initially instinctive, quickly turned into gap shooting as I allowed my eyes to recognize where the arrow tip was in relation to the target. Now that I'm consistently on at 15yds, I'm going through the process of increasing my effective range (hopefully eventually out to 25yds).
This gap shooting is giving me serious bowhunter anxiety though. It's reminded me just how much I SUCK AT YARDAGE ESTIMATION. I've always sucked at it. But I mounted an EZV on my bow two years ago and never had to worry about it again. My mind understood the thing so quickly that I actually tossed my rangefinder in the extra-hunting-gear-that-I'll-never-use-again drawer. Now I'm worried that I will eventually walk into the deer woods with a recurve in one hand and a rangefinder in the other.
So, in conclusion... I too want to put an EZV on a recurve.
