Default getting started with traditional?

Went to cabelas yesterday and bought my first recurve. The salesperson that helped me is a traditional shooter as well and his first recommendation I was far from being able to draw back to full draw. I bought a 45# bow that is 60" long. My ability to draw it stops about 3" short of full draw. To say the least I was very inconsistent at their range. He had me try both the split finger and 3 below grip on the string. Any help on getting started would be appreciated. How should I work the muscles to get to full draw? Do I simply keep shooting until I can attain full draw or will that instill poor shooting habits? Are there books on getting started with traditional shooting?
