Hiya Parker, good to see you posting. If I were you, I' d be looking at a bow from 40-45# at your draw length. Most off the shelf bows are a certain weight at 28" s of draw length. It' s been quite awhile since I' ve shot one, so they may have changed, but when I made the switch to trad gear, I lost a little over an inch of draw length, going from a 29" draw to just under 28" . If that hasn' t changed, you' ll want to look at a bow around 45# @ 28" and you' ll fall right in the 40-45# range. If your draw is longer, say 29-30" , then you' ll want to look at a bow 40# or so. It might not make a difference which type of trad bow you look at, but if you want to save some bucks, go with an older recurve. If there' s no one around that can help with the purchase and make sure that you get a fair deal on a sound bow, then buy from a reputable dealer that deals primarily in trad gear. There are quite a few around and I' m sure that some of the other guys here can name one or more for you. Once you have a good bow and some arrows that' ll fly well from it, get close (5' or so) to the back stop and practice form before anything else. Proper and consistent form will make for consistent accuracy. You' re gonna get lots of good info here from some very fine archers and bowhunters. Have fun.
