Mid-range Recurve for Barebow Target Shooting

Hi all - I've been using a Southwest Archery Ghost 35# bow, and I'm relatively happy with it. Relatively. At some point, I will want to upgrade (perhaps for next summer), but don't have the money for something really fancy. Looking at the prices, it seems like you either go inexpensive/cheap or pretty high/out of my range right now.

Are there decent mid-range priced bows that you like? Last year's model? Two (or more) years ago model? Is there a good mid-range upgrade that is worth it? Price range? I would love to find a 'forever' bow but I would be saving for it, so budget would be a consideration.

I should mention that I'm not using a plunger (yet), and using a Hoyt super rest. I generally like the poundage, but would like to go with something I can upgrade the limbs on later when it's time.

And I know this is kind of a broad question. I have looked around a bit, but like I mentioned above, it seems like things are talked about at the extreme ends of the price spectrum. Either Hoyt prices or PVC and twine prices.

I would take a takedown recurve bow as my primary SHTF/bugout weapon

This is the type of opinion that is subject to change. In the near future, deteriorating political, economic, and social circumstances may result in many people having to rely on weapons to obtain food and defend themselves on a regular basis. Alternately, some people desire to leave civilization for a life of self-sufficiency in the wilderness, perhaps temporarily, and will encounter the same challenges. Generally, firearms are the preferred weapons among people who seek to prepare themselves for these events. I have owned and used a wide variety of firearms over many years and own several right now. If I had to pick one weapon to serve as a primary weapon (a full-size weapon intended to be used offensively, such as for hunting, and carried in the hand or by sling as opposed to a secondary weapon, which is complimentary, used defensively and carried on-person and possibly concealed, such as a handgun) I just might prefer my ILF recurve over any kind of rifle or shotgun. It's ad

Having Trouble Figuring out a Backstop Situation

When I was around thirteen, I got my first recurve bow, and every weekend I practiced really diligently. I feel like I got pretty good for a casual archer. But having to wait for the weekend and going to the same indoor range just to shoot my bow for an hour or two got boring. So as life got busier, I stopped shooting as much. Alas, this is my sad tale. Now I'm 22, I live in a new area, and got a new awesome 50# recurve bow! The only problem is, I don't have the time or the money to go to an indoor range, and I'd just run into the same problem. I feel like my backyard is big enough, I called the city and they said so long as I'm not shooting at other people's houses or if I have a large enough structure in the path of my shot, I was clear to shoot in my yard. At the moment I'm looking at shooting at the side of my garage where it's probably around 10ft wide and about as tall. I don't think I have quite 30ft of distance, maybe not even 25ft, but don'
