I really think a person would be happier with a Chek-mate Falcon than a martin or bear. Just my opinion, but I really don't like the black glass bows as much ....and you save money on a Chek-mate too. About $225 for a standard Falcon or about 325 for a martin hunter or about 400 for a bear grizzly ? What's not to like ?
Clear glass limbs and great performance.

LBR here is a dealer (recurves.com) and all around good guy. Also greg at G&M archery in mn is a good guy and dealer too. (gmarchery.com)

I'd also recommend you stay with a 45 or 50 pounder for your first recurve. 45 is plenty for deer and will help you develop good form. Trust me on this one, I went to a heavier bow too soon and developed the dreaded target panic. Now shooting a 51 pounder and having much more fun.

Good luck !
