I am considering buying a longbow, or perhaps  recurve. Does anyone have any tips for deciding on what to get or where to get one? Since this will be my first one, I am not looking to spend a ton of money. And then, of course, once I know whether or not it's something I'll pursue, I'll spend more money on something nice. But, if I'm looking to do some target practice, and possibly some hunting, what should I look at getting? The lowest weight for hunting in MN is now 30#, so I'm thinking that anywhere between 30 and 40# should be good. But which type should I go for, and is there anyway I can get just a simple version of what I'd like. OR is there somewhere I can test these out and buy accordingly? I have an archery shop near my house that I am going to check out, but I don't know if I'll be able to try out the bows or not. And who knows if they'll even have one in my weight, etc. 

Any tips at all would be appreciated.
