I would definately suggest u try a more modestly priced production bow to see if u have the time and "want" needed in order to hunt with a recurve bow. Sportsmans guide has a takedown Martin that runs about $150. I used this very bow to take 3 deer last year.
If u have disposable money go ahead and buy a custom bow. before i bought the martin I bought a black widow that i couldnt shoot nearly as well.
Main thing...dont over bow yourself. Start with a light weight bow to ingrain propper form and avoid the "snap shooting"
