Im looking at getting into a recurve this upcoming year, and will start the shopping process. Any recommendations on a bow? and What to look to get and what to look to avoid?
Fist bow, get a used recurve. Shouldn’t be more than $150 and 1/2 dozen arrows will be 50/70 bucks. Shoot the hell out of it. If you’re still having fun then look at the very best bow you can afford and it’ll last you decades. You’ll eventually need a fletching jig to fix your own arrows.

Don't over-bow yourself. Legal hunting weight is 40# at 28". Just sayin' that many people buy a bow and struggle with bringing it to full draw on a cold day and a stiff ole body. Get something you can draw and comfortably hold without shaking.

I would go 1 step further and say don't even worry about legal hunting weight for your 1st. Get something in the 28-30 lb range where to can practice proper form and release without getting fatigued.
