Rather than adding a whole new thread I'll add my "hello" here - I'm new to archery of any form, and have been lurking on the site for several weeks learning all sorts of useful things. Its an excellent resource.
FWIW, I'm using a (cheap and cheerful) PSE (yes I know it's chinese!) one-piece 45lb recurve. I'm slowly graduating from shooting "barn door" size objects to reasonable groups now. I tend to pick one thing from the sight each night to practice the next day, so "cheers" from this newbie!
