Thinking of trying one,have read a lot of opinions re. what brand is best,but most are compounds. Recurve seems so much simpler; since letoff isn't a big issue,[you're not holding it back] what's the advantage w/compounds,if any?

The cocking effort on a 175 Excal is fairly easy with the cocking aid. I understand all three weight Excal bows, the 175, 200 and 225 use the same limbs, they are just pulled back farther to get the extra poundage. (not sure about the 150 lb Vixen) If you are fairly short a 225 lb model would be difficult to cock as the pull length is so long.
