Default Newbie, need bow advice

I have shot a compound for a long time, and have been thinking about getting a trad bow for a couple of years now. Problem is,I shoot lefty, and NO ONE keeps left handed trad bows in stock. Of course I can order one from Cabelas or something, but I have no idea on what it would feel like. It would be a shot in the dark. If I'm gonna do that I want it to at least be an educated shot in the dark.

So what advice would you give someone in my shoes? I pull 60 lbs on my compound, with a 28" draw. I think I want a recurve, and probably something that will handlea fast flight string. Just a decent solid bow that will handle deer and hogs without breaking the bank. Obvioulsy I don't want to have to upgrade after just a year or two, but you get what I'm saying. I also live way out in the sticks, don't have lots of opportunities to go shop around and try things. I am probably going to have to just wing it from a catalog.
