Any help is appreciated, would like a recurve, relatively heavy draw weight, shorter bow. I know 0 about traditional bows.
Heavy draw weight in a shorter bow. I started with a Bear Grizzly. I've grown very fond of it.
You will build a lot better form and enjoy shooting a lot more with a lighter weight bow. FORM is the most important part. You can always move up in weight after you build your form correctly. 50-55 lbs will go thru anything in North America. Most guys would be a lot better shots if they dropped some bow weight.
I shoot 80 now.What draw weight are you talking about, to some 50# is heavy. To me anything over 65 is heavy. What weight compound are you shooting now?
I would suggest going to several 3 D shoots and trying a bunch of bows. That way you don't buy something you don't like and then get discouraged and quit.
Lots of good used bows in that price range, but again try a bunch before you buy one that way you can decide what is right for you.Would like to stay round the 300 range
