If possible, I'd look at attending a traditional archery shoot near you. There are usually vendors who carry used bows, and might let you try a few out on the practice bales.

750 bucks should get you a great used bow. Whichever you choose, make sure it's light in draw weight and smooth drawing. Some of the short bows become very stacky at full draw, and if combined with a draw weight that's uncomfortable to you, it can set you up to develop bad shooting form. Being new to traditional archery, developing good form is key.

I'd also advise you to avoid cheap bows. If you buy a quality bow, you shouldn't have much trouble selling it if you want to step up to a higher weight, or buying a new set of limbs if it's a takedown and the riser suits you. JMO.
