buy the books Byron Ferguson has wrote he shoots true traditional
yep. Zen and the Art of Archery is a good beginner book too
I have 8 recurves, most fixed limb, but prefer versatility of removable limbs. Start around 25 to 30 lbs to get your form down.
Id just get a samick ( made in Korea) recurve with low poundage to start out . Taught many scouts in BSA to shoot on this bow
