A lot of people like the Samick Sage for people just getting started in traditional archery my self included. The Sage is a cheap 62" bow that might feel a little short for longer draws.
This might be common knowledge, but I recently discovered that Samick Sage limbs will fit on a Samick Polaris riser. The Polaris riser comes in a longer 66" version for $60. This will make a 66" recurve with Sage limbs.
If you can find some discontinued Samick Journey limbs, this will make a 68" recurve.
You will lose a few lbs. of draw weight with the longer riser and I think I would limit myself to 45lb limbs or less with this setup.
When you are starting out, it is so important to get a bow that fits and that you can handle. This can be a real challenge for guys with long draws.
If you have a really long draw you might want to consider a light and cheap Polaris setup and then you can shoot comfortably all day long.
