Tips for getting a good bow

Hi,I am quite new to archery and also not new to archery if that makes sense,at the beginning of 2021 I had a couple of archery lessons about 3 lessons if I remember correctly and I loved the sport,but I had to leave the sport due to exams and now exams have finished I tried contacting them for more lessons but there archery practice was "questionable" and they fell of the face of the Earth(I can not find them anywhere and it looks like there practice closed).They were the only traditional recurve archery practice in my area so i will have to resort to getting a bow online .I want to get back into the sport so I am thinking of getting a traditional recurve bow or even an olympic recurve bow(I want to use the bow for target practice and the odd competition that appears). In terms of draw weight I was thinking of getting a 30-45 pound draw weight and budgetwise I would say 200$ to 250$ at most.I know it is a shot in the dark and it is best to try a bow then see if you like it but I do not have that option.I would appreciate any recommendations!

Question on bow fit - Mathews V3 31"

Long story short: I decided after 2 years to upgrade my used Dreniln. Went in to a local shop and they steered me towards a V3. In hindsight they didn't spend near as much time with me as they should have. Anyway, my wingspan is just under 76" and the bow is set at it's max draw length of 30.5". In order to get a good sight picture and have my nose touch the string, I need to tilt my head down just slightly, which then causes my jaw to change position and a loose a bit of my anchor point. Is this common for a shorter bow, or should I really have gone with a bow that goes to 31" and/or a longer axle to axle to get a better angle? V3s are hard to come by around here so I may be able to recoup most of the cost of the bow if I decide to switch. Not sure what to do. I went back to the bow shop and the guy said "That's the cool thing about archery, some people move there head, lean back, lean forward, it's all a matter of how you want to shoot"...I...

(New?) Dual Takedown Recurve Case Option

Before I get to the case. HUGE shoutout to u/FerrumVeritas to all of his fawking awesome posts about equipment, risers, etc. Me and some friends started archery a few weeks ago, and after weeks of looking around and compiling info, the best I could share with my friends are mostly his posts interspersed with my own opinions and analysis in our shared spreadsheet. To the case! Not that I looked, but it doesn't look like anyone has done this yet? I wanted a case, but didn't want to carry around a rifle sized case. Nor did I want something obscenely heavy. I prefer a hardcase, but they were all exorbitantly expensive. I like the look of SKB, and the reviews and reputation is there; but for the price, I don't feel like the value is there. I also wanted something a bit different. Enter the Pelican 1605 Air! Website measurements showed a 25" riser was a tight fit in the Pelican, so I took a gamble that 1/2" of foam was plenty to protect the riser's ends. ...

How To Buy/Make a Portable Target?

First post, howdy to all the archers! Here's my dilemma. I'm brand new to archery, and live in California. I'm determined to take my bow out to the desert on BLM land with me on an overlanding trip, but the problem is I can't seem to figure out how to bring a portable target with me. Space is limited in my SUV, and bringing a giant packed archery target bag thing will just take up too much room. Does anyone have any advice or ideas on how to practice some archery out in the desert without lugging around a giant straw target etc?
