Thread: Recurve help

I would like to get myself a recurve bow. I am totally new to archery and have no clue what im doing or what to look for as a good starter package. I would like something thats somewhat "traditional" ie: I dont want some brightly coloured aluminium and fibreglass monstrosity.
Ive had a look at a few different bows online but dont really have any options nearby to go and take a look at a bow before purchasing. Im somewhat confused as to what exactly is a right/left handed bow. I would shoot with the bow in my left hand but draw with my right hand, is that a left handed bow? I am left handed but I do a lot of things right handed, I shoot rifles right handed for example.
I would like to be able to shoot targets to begin with and then move onto small game and possibly at some stage a fallow or chamois if one is silly enough to let me get within bow range and I dont really want to go down the whole path of purchasing a "learner bow" then having to purchase a big boy bow later on, so I want something thats forgiving, but versatile. cheers for any help
