recurve bows

Howdy,
I'm relatively new to the sport of bowhunting. I did grow up shooting the standard 22 lb. fiberglass bow at jackrabbits and haybales. Now that I've done quite a bit of rifle hunting I'm interested in going after deer with a bow. As a gift to my son, because he got interested in bowhunting from a few friends of mine out in Nevada, I got him a used Bear (Kodiak?).
I have to say though over the years that even though I've shot compounds mostly when I do shoot, I prefer a recurve bow.
Does anyone know of a good bow in the 35-50 lb. range that has a reasonable price tag....also if I get a chance to buy one used what brand do most of you prefer? Thanks

Thanks, Something to keep in mind for where I'm going to hunt. How much do you use?

One tip about recurves, when you get a bow, get a stringer along with it. When you are not shooting the bow or hunting, take the string off, it will help it from stretching.
GET~R~DONE!
The Black Widow probably is the finest made, most desirable bow, but I prefer the Fred Bear bows for whatever reasons. I have recently moved from a PSE compound to a crossbow. The older you get the easier it is to go in this direction. This forum is not to buy and sell, but if you are interested, list your wants in the wanted column and I may part with one of the recurves.
