I agree there are far more hunters in the US using compounds, this is due to very good advertising by the bow companies, and the promise of being able to shoot more powerful bows than you could otherwise handle, coupled with the faster arrow speeds they produce. One reason they shoot faster arrows is that their arrows tend to be very light carbon -alloy etc, but arrow speed is a seductive argument at best, its the same argument regarding the velocity of a 5.56 as opposed to the knock down power of a 7.62 ya pays yer money and takes yer choice. Quality makes the biggest difference to anything bows included, I have been using the same bow now for over twenty years (czaba Grozer Mongol) and it has never let me down and will no doubt see me through, I doubt if any of the compound bows available today will see twenty years of regular use without having something go wrong.
I've got a couple of English longbows I don't use and I might consider donating them for the cause, but do you have a jaunty green hat with a feather in it and a Codpiece
This is the type of bow I use, lets see your compounds do this, enjoy
