Bear grizzly is a very good bow, especially for the price. Super Kodiak is my favorite bear bow. I love the Kodiak magnum for hunting but its not really a good first recurve for most people. But once you can shoot one accurately its a gem in a treestand or blind. Any Martin is also a solid choice. If you can find a browning explorer II, they are a great first recurve--a hunting bow with classic target bow features.
