Samick Sage. You need at least 40# to take down a deer, but considering you're new, begin with ~25# limbs, and work yourself up. That means that once you get good at 25, you get the 30# limbs and so on. A thumb of rule is that if you're new to bowhunting, you'll be spending this year practicing , and the next year hunting.
Watch NuSensei, primitivesurvival etc. for some tips.

Same guy here. You'll also invest in more than the bow, like finger tabs/gloves, armguards, string nocks, and equipment needed to set the string nock. You'll also have to purchase something to fire the arrow off, whether that's an elevated arrow rest or the shelf covered with leather. The best tip is to ask around at the local archery store or club, but avoid general sporting and hunting stores, as they now close to nothing about this.
If that's not possible, then feel free to ask more around here and other places on the internet.

Please stick to this Anon's advice. I've seen too many people crippling their own progress by trying to prove how tough they are and picking draw weights way too high for them.
The most important thing to practice as a beginner is technique, and you'll only get that down by constantly practicing it, which means many repetitions. The additional strength to switch to higher draw weights without seeing your technique suffer comes as a byproduct all on its own.

Go with his advice OP. Even though the Samic Sage is a Reddit tier meme bow it's a fairly good deal for Archer's that don't know what style they're interested in yet. New limbs are easily available and it has all the attachment points for a sight, plunger, stabilizers and arrow rests. I consider it a jack of all trades and master of none kind of bow. It's not consistent enough to be a good target bow, it's a little too long to make a good hunting bow, and it's not pretty enough to be a good traditional bow.

It's more about shot placement than stopping power.

I used to hunt boar with ~35lb

>not considering compound bows

Yeah...well... the fucking off because you clearly don't want the best of both worlds - hunting and training

Every recurve bow that's sufficient for hunting will be hard for training - at first. So you train fewer, become a worse hunter.
No thanks
