I switched to target archery for similar reasons. Archery is far less about the bow and far more about technique. With olympic-style recurve and bare-bow shooting, it seems like there's always more to learn--it never gets boring!

And if you want to throw some money into the bow, you can put together the same bow that Olympic shooters are using for about $2000. The compound bows you see on the World Cup circuit are a bit more, perhaps $3000. Keep in mind that's for very top-end gear. (See [1] for examples of what I'm talking about.)
