Yep, if you get started right now you should be ready by then, just though if your like me. In the classifieds you can post up want you want ie
"WTB- first recurve" then in the ad let them know that you are new to trad and want a bow and what you are willing to spend, you will get a number of fair offers here. You will want something around 40# to start out with, trust me. You will have a blast learning to shoot trad bows- Steve
