That's what I'd go with, and don't forget draw ST and grip setting (is it a righty when your a lefty? Is it universal when your used to an offset left grip? Etc.).
The only difference between my recurve and my compound is the left off curve*, and honestly I wouldn't even require an hour of practice for someone to get over that going from recurve/straight bow to compound, but the other direction would be brutal.
I mean, I was a bit shocked the first time I broke over a compound, but not so much that I couldn't still shoot straight.
* No sights, no string releaser, no stabilizers, no fancy doodads, they're both universal grips (though they are both set for a left handed grip).

I, as a house rule, generally consider TL penalties to DX skills as being familiarity penalties (except when a roll is required against the skill off IQ).

I've always done TL penalties as Familiarity penalties. I'm just extremely harsh on things that have undergone
radical technology shifts.

Coming back to this. I might do compound bows as basically having 'elven' bow for free. Or maybe halving the penalty for using an over ST bow up to a certain point.
