Default RE: New to long bows/recurves....recommendations

Here is what I suggest. Don't start out with a black widow, or any high dollar bow. I should have listened to some on this sight and looked at rudder bows first. They are lower dollar. And for the first 3months to 6months, your just trying to figure out whats going on. Learn on a cheaper bow, and make the decision on what style you like. Also start out with a 40lb bow. Also with a longbow, your draw will go down an inch maybe more. You might have to get a fiberglass'd backed bow since your draw is so long or have one made for your draw. If you get a solid wood one like hickory, I have been told, don't pull beyond the specified draw. Especially if it starts stacking bad.

Aim Archery is interesting and lower dollar, along with the martin stick. something to consider. I by no means am an expert, but remember little over a year ago I started and wished I could have went back and did things differently. That way after you shot fora while you can make a more informed decision.
