Recurve Youth
Can I start out with a Youth Bow?
I want to buy a Recurve Bow to get started in archery, but they are so expensive! I am 5' 6" and 125 pounds. Could I use a 46" youth bow?
Absolutely, start out with a youth bow! It is recommended that all new archers, no matter their age, height or "strength" start with a low-draw weight "youth" bow so they can learn the mechanics of archery.
By "strength", I mean physical strength. I knew one guy who could bench press over 180 pounds and curl over 70 pounds with one hand -- but he couldn't handle a "mere" 40 lb Draw Bow. It's a different set of muscles....
Look up http://www.usarchery.org/
They'll help you find a group to help you learn if you live in the U.S. If you live in the U.K. or such, try

There are others, but I don't have them all bookmarked.....
By the way, here's something you will find useful...you will probably need to adjust each "step" to suit Your Own particular "style" (what works for me likely won't the same for you), but it is important to do each "step" the same way every time, no matter how you actually do it.
