Good for you, jerseyboy. Yep, the traditional way is much more fun. Stay low pounds and the arrows you have will probably fly fine out of a recurve since they are closer to center shot.
To properly match the arrows we gotta know the bow first ... But, assuming a 45# recurve with a 125grain tip and a 29" arrow - the Easton Legacy chart recommends a 2018 shaft.
As for sights - just say no. You'll have more fun without them and that's what it's mostly about. With a low poundage bow your shots will be inside 20-25 yards so sights really wouldn't benefit anyway.
