everything for a 28" draw. I have shot several compound bows, with and without sights, releases, etc. I could not bring myself to carry all that. My good friend the late Mike went through the recurve to compound with all the gadgets and then back to long bow and back to recurve shooting instinctive. He could hit a gallon jug at 80 yards almost without fail. Talent does play a role but it is no harder than learning to shoot a baskets with a basketball. The compound does help physically limited shooters.
