Lots of good advice here. I'm no expert, but here's mine.
Buy a $150 ILF bow, draw weight about 30# @ 28", length 60" to 66" (longer is better), and that has mounting holes on the riser to accept a screw/bolt on $20 sight. You just need 1 siight pin. Learn how to shoot with this at 10-yards. Develop your form. When you can put 3 into a 3" circle at 10-yards then you've got your form down pretty good and you can move out 3 to 5 more yards.
$150 makes it not expensive to get started.
ILF allows you to change limbs for more draw weight in the future for less than an added $100.
30# allows you to work on form. And at 30# you can shoot lots of shots before you get tired.
Sight pin removes all the "gap", instintictive, and other stuff that can be frutrating to learn and interfered with learn form and love of trad. Go sightless later if you want to.
10-yards (or even 5-yards) brings quicker success, and more fun!
