Personally if your just starting with a vertical bow i would suggest
the compound and once you have got the hang of shooting it then maybe look into the recurve. Trust me shootinga compound isnt as easy as it looks, it takes alot of practice before you feel confident enoughto go hunting with it. I think the compound would be the better choice to get started, yes it is more advanced but those advancements like letoff and smooth drawing make it easier to get the feel of how a vertical bow shoots.
