If you want to give it a try without getting in too deep, order up a Samick takedown recurve from Amazon. The Koreans take their archery very seriously, and the Samick is pretty smooth and runs about $140, last I looked. Limb sets are about $75 if you want to go higher or lower. The same bow sold under an American label is about $100 more. Mine's 45lbs, and 64", about right for an old fat man who sold his 50lb Bear TD years ago. I'm using arrows originally bought for the Bear and the Montana LB my son used to have.
