Default Questions from a beginner

Hey Guys! After settling on a recurve over a compound (Bowhunting forum, thanks for the help) I have to decide which one to get. I'm 16 and bowhunt alot for deer with a crossbow-Excalibur. I am definately willing to spend "a little extra" if it gets me that much more for a custom recurve. The thing is, how do I know which bowyer to go with? In the last issue of Traditional Bowhunter (an excellent magazine that really whet my appetite) I listed 38 custom recurve builders with websites. I was originally thinking of going with a Chek-mate Falcon but now I kinda might want something a little more expensive. Max I'm willing to spend is probably around $700. Can I go wrong with anybody around this price? I think from looking at all the websites and recurve designs, I've narrowed it to a Wes Wallace Custom, Acadia Woods, Cari-Bow Custom, Navajo, Cook's Mountain, Timberhawk Bows, or Shafer Silvertip. I'm gettin' a one piece. How do I choose? I don't have the option of going to any shoots yet. Do you have any experience with any of these bow builders.

Thanks alot for any help,

Matt
