Buy a cheap recurve on E Bay. They a have Bear Wolverine package deal for about $170.00. Basically looks like a Samick bow which are also on E Bay for at around $110.00. You should go with a lighter bow probably around 40 to 45#. You can buy heaver limbs later or go to a full custom. I shoot Wes Wallace and Palmer bows, but all customs are pricey. Martin Hunters, which are a semi custom run around $800.00 now, but are great bows. If you don't like Trad you're not out that much and if you love it you can used it for bow fishing. These budget bows really shoot pretty well, I own one I bought after shoulder surgery to get back in the game, and bought a set of heavier limbs as strength came back. Don't get too heavy a pull weight. Back in the day we all thought we were tough and shot 65 to 75# bows, hence bad shoulders, Hard to sell a heavy bow now. Must of my friends and I shoot in the 50 to 55# range and that is plenty for deer and elk.Have fun!
