newbie first bow suggestions

[Jack Hoyt 75]

Look in the Tradbow forum.  Ed Cowden selling a Hummingbird recurve. I think 33 lbs and 62".  BD is selling a 3 pc Assenheimer recurve, 2009 model and 48@28.  They are listed in the Tradbow forum but you have to pay 30 bucks due it it being a closed forum.  Lots of bows for sale in Tradbow forum and more added each week.  
Also learn how to search forums on tradgang. It help find thinks faster.  

Hummingbird bows a amazing!  You should call Ben Graham at hummingbird bows.com.  He will set you up with a piece of art that shoots amazing! That is the expensive option. Another option to think about is Bear Archery or Martin.  Look at 3rivers.com or Basspro shop online.  Decent bows and ready to do.

Lastly, slow down...you want the best bow you can find or afford, not the best one you can find in a day. Just my opinion.

I just started out myself and asked some of the same questions you are. I also have a 30"+ draw and have a bigger frame than most 6' men. The problem I had deciding on was the draw weight because I wanted a one piece recurve. I wanted something that I wouldn't have to trade up on as soon as I got it.

I went with a 50# @ 28" Bear Grizzly and I am very glad I did. It puts me drawing about 56-58# but it is very manageable. The bow is only 58" which is really shorter than I need but I also plan on hunting as soon as I can get a more consistent grouping.

Whatever you choose try to find someone near you that shoots traditional to help you so you can actually see what to do. When you first start you have several things that you can adjust, like split or 3 under, anchor points and arrows. All of which are easier done if you have someone that has been through it already helping you out.

Welcome to the addiction:)
 A few easy rules when you start:

Don't overbow yourself, that will only lead to a bad form. Start with 40 to 45 lbs max. That's plenty for killing smaller game. You get a bad form very easy, but it is long way to get rid of it!

Don't buy an expensive bow, because, once you get the hang if it, you will buy another one sooner or later.

A three pce design allows you to go up in drawweight just by ordering limbs, which is way cheaper the a new bow. A three pce Samick would be a nice choice, or take a look at the classifieds here.

Try to train with an experienced archer or even better, a coach, they can help you in getting a good form.

Once yo have a good form and you found your drawweight you can handle easily, it's time to start look around for those fancy bows

Three. rivers, trad tech and twig archery all sell the SAMICK SAGE bow. For 130 bucks you can get a good quality NEW bow and all of those dealers will sell you what you need to get set up to shoot. Some even have packages where the bow is delivered all set up to go. What you NEED is a bow with a "rug rest", nock point locater on the string, Bow or side quiver to hold your arrows, a shooting glove to protect your fingers, an armguard to protect your arm and keep  clothing out of the way and arrows with field points and FEATHER FLETCHING. Do not use plastic vanes for shooting "off the shelf". Aluminum arrows will be cheaper and easier to get while carbon arrows are also very common, they can be a bit tricky to set up and use different components than aluminum. Carbons cab be a little more durable but more expensive too. Always thoroughly check your arrow for damage if they take a hard impact or are hit by another arrow. ALWAYS come to this site and ask questions if you don't know. There are no stupid questions! Good luck and keep us posted!

Normally, I'd suggest the Sage but you're a little tall. The Samick Journey might suit you very well.
Both are quality bows and at very good prices.
