My neice has expressed interest in shooting a bow. She either wants a long bow or a recurve. She is interested in target shooting, instinctively.

Knowing next to nothing about stick and string.

I would like some suggestions for a beginner bow. I'm thinking about 20# pull at most. Is there anything that is not a toy but not professional grade?

If she looses interest I don't want to get stuck with a $200 bow.
I'd like to keep it around $50, is that possible?
I'm all ears.

Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.

When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.

PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.
