does it help

I know you use different muscles when drawing a trad bow but does anyone think that occasional use of a trad help making you a better hunter with a compound. I like to use a recurve late season with snow on the ground. I think it makes me a better hunter. I will always use my compound but getting back to basics with a recurve is enjoyable

Don't know about making anyone a better hunter.
However I do understand the enjoyment of shooting a re-curve.

I would say yes, based on my own history and the history of others that I have known. My wife got a lot stronger over the years, as she stuck with the recurve. When she went back to a compound it was a cake walk for her. For myself, the act of hunting with a recurve educated me to be more successful in tighter conditions, which only helped in every aspect. I lot less wounds at 15 yards or less, as opposed to 30 yards or further.
