I agree with all above statements. Do not start off with a high dollar bow. Bows are like motorcycles. They all look nice but one of them is going to feel better than the next. It does not make it better, it just makes it better for you. If you can, go to an archery shoot or find a bow maker (bowyer ) in your area. Then you can try multiple bows for minimal cost. I have bought and traded a dozen or 2 dozen bows to learn that I like long bows better than recurve and I like medium to smaller longbow risers/grips vs bulkier thicker risers. I have learned that I like 15 to 17 inch risers over longer risers. And that I like wood bows over others. Start simple to get an understanding with a sage bow or Lancaster has one that you can buy longbow and / or recurve limbs for around $200. Then once you know what fits you, go get a fancy bow like the Tolke Whip, Bob Sarrels, Wagstaff, Stalker or other bows like that. They make as expensive as you want but they are beautiful works of art.
Also, have someone help you tune your 1st bow and match it with the proper arrow. This would have saved me 6 months of headache when I started. Traditional archery is addicting and you will never be more angry or happy than with a Trad bow!
