Hey Mo. I only shoot Trad and have for many moons. I did invest in a Black Widow, killed a few with it, and BC made me leave it to him in my will! LOL!!

I also have a Kodiak Magnum and Martin Mamba. When you see the poundage, that is simply what the bow is rated for and the draw is considered by limb length and strength of design at full draw.
I'm only 5' 9" as evidenced by BC always calling me little man! That should be LARGE Little Man.

Anywho.....Consider what YOUR normal draw length would be for someone your height and reach. Most find that it's between 30"-33".
When I shot a compound bow I preferred the longer draw because I could hold the string longer. With a Trad bow, you must learn to shoot with instinct as opposed to holding the draw for a long time as you would with a compound.
I first SEE my target and then SIGHT it before drawing. I keep my eye on the target as I draw and when the string gets to my lower right chin, I might hold for a micro-second and then release. Fred Bear would draw until it touched his cheek and then let loose.
I don't draw my bow back quite that far.
The Bear Kodiak is a great bow and is well worth the money and comes in a variety of draw weights. Most states (except Georgia) have a minimum of weight that the bow can draw before it is legal for deer. IMHO-45 pounds at full draw should be about minimum.
The great thing about recurves is that you can shoot aluminum arrows if you want. Vane or fletching is up to you. Fletching is more accurate IMHO, but vanes are tougher and last longer in bad weather.
I do all my hunting with Magnus broadheads, between 100-125 grains. I prefer the two blades, and have yet to lose a deer.
You can find some good buys on recurves at pawn shops and of course at places like Cabelas and Bass Pro and Gander Mountain.
My personal favorite is a place called 3 Rivers. They only do traditional stuff and they have dvds and books on traditional stuff out the ying-yang.
Become the Arrow by Byron Ferguson is one of my favorites. The website for the 3 Rivers is
