[QUOTE="TMA-1, post: 2219927, member: 8014"] One bit of advice I received from good friends who are Olympic-style archers and coaches - don't overdo the poundage on your first recurve. You need at least 40 pounds to hunt legally, but if you're just wanting to shoot targets, consider starting out lighter (I'm shooting 35 pounds, and on later reflection I should have started at 28-30). Get your form down first, work on your ability to reliably reproduce your shots, then consider an upgrade. If you get a takedown model, you can replace the limbs as your ability and strength improve. Disclaimer: not a real expert, just have a lot of smart friends. [/QUOTE]
