I am mostly a compound shooter. I have at least 6 recurves in the basement though. Instinctive shooting is like throwing a ball. You don't really aim but it gets to where you want it to. There are a lot more variables. A lot more commitment and practice and limited to that bow. With our younger generation and more instant gratification needed a compound is more in tune.
That is one of the things that appeals to me about archery. You can make it what you want with the equipment/style you want.

Thanked: 983I started with a compound as I said, and I would rather have bought a LB, but I chose and still choose to shoot it as a 'bare bow', i.e sans any sighting aids etc, I don't use release aids and all my shooting has been done 'instinctively'. Price wise I think if you want to keep costs down, perhaps starting off with a youths longbow or recurve might be what you want, just until you know whether or not the lad will take a more active interest in archery.

Update:
Just finished my bow class an hour ago. We used the same bows, Genesis. I really liked the class. I went and sprung for a Genesis bow, camo. Both my son & I can use it. Tomorrow I will get some extra arrows and a case.
Something else I can enjoy with my son.

Excellent. I shot leagues with my son from 13 - 17 yrs of age. He is now 18 and has more important things to do than spend Friday nights with his dad! Maybe in the future we can pick it back up again. I shoot with some father/son teams in which the sons are 40 -50 yrs old. I hope archery can bring as much enjoyment to you and your son as it has to us.

Way to go.... Archery isn't for everyone, but everyone can find fun it Archery... I love shooting My Long Bow and recurve bows, I have found more respect for hunting when using trad bows more so then wheelie (Compound) bows... All Bows are fun to shoot for Me, But Trad more so. It is Great to see a Father bonding with their Kids in Archery or anything to do with the Outdoors.. My Hats off To You Sir... Shoot Straight...

Longbows
I have been being a "little" Frustrated with mine. Although it is about the same with my bare bow recurve.
Longbow enthusiasts?

Thanked: 6i shoot a long bow! its a wild horse creek bow, made in perry, ks about 15 min from my town. it is 54" long reflex-deflex design, 49# and 28" draw, made of bubinga, cocobola, black locust and beaver tail grip. shoots like a dream too. the guy builds excelent bows. at the customer appritiation day in april he told us that he has made just over 300 bows and has only built bows for 117 different people. if you do the math thats alot of repeat customers huh. i would like to purchase another from him but little broke right now. but i love shooting my bow. so quite and fast. wish i had more friends that shot traditional as well but i dont.
