Just My 2 cents:
I switched from a 61# compound to a 61# longbow and developed so many bad habits (including Target Panic) that it has taken me to the edge of quiting archery. I have fought back with the help of some good friends to a point that I now enjoy archery again. That switch took place 5 years ago. Over bowing is the worst thing that you can do to yourself when making the switch to traditional. 45# recurves will have no problem harvesting deer sized game with heavy arrows that are equipped with 2 blade broadheads. I have just recently put my 55# limbs on my bow and can handle it extra weight without any problems. It took a lot of form conditioning to be able to shoot well again. I don't believe that I could have accomplished my turn a round with a heavy bow. Go with a 45# recurve and solidify your form first before you try and shoot a heavier bow. If you can afford it, do what I did and buy a bow with 2 sets of limbs. Mine are 45# & 55#'s. Dick
