I started shooting recurve early this year. I was shooting around 100 arrows a day for some time, frequently visited a small shop in my area for lessons, etc. He found that I was compressing a bit on the shot and suggested a clicker. I was down at 30#s at the time and was not overboard, just had bad form. I shot with that for a long time and all was well. My DL ended up just shy of 27". I am pretty confident that this DL is correct in this case. I had since worked up to 40-45# and kept the same DL. Like I said, I was practicing A LOT!
Some time later I went to a bigger shop and picked up a compound bow. They were pretty quick to assume a 25" DL by looking at me, and after flying a few test arrows it was left at 25" (not saying this is bad, they probably get pretty good at guessing this). I've since been shooting this way and I don't think my form is terrible or anything, but I'm not frequently getting form checks or anything like I had for the recurve.
My question is, is this ok/normal to be this far off between the two DLs? Seems like I read about the opposite (compound being longer than recurve) not the other way around. Could it have to do with my release?
Fwiw I'm shooting decent with the compound. I guess I am wondering if I got sloppy and need to get my form checked again or what.
