Shoot A LOT, yes. But keep your practice sessions only as long as you can continue solid form.It sounds like you want to go the traditional route. If that's the case don't let people talk you out of it just because a compound is easier. If you wanted to take the easier route you would have stuck with the crossbow. I went back to my recurve this past year and had more fun killing the smallest spike I have ever seen in the woods, then I did killing bigger bucks with a crossbow.
The best advice I can give is get on some forums or better yet find someone that shoots trad close to you, get a cheap bow and some arrows that are close to the right spine and go shoot A LOT. You will figure the rest out as you go. Trad doesn't have to be complicated.
Practice does not make perfect. PERFECT practice makes perfect.
