Looking at possibly getting into trad. Figured I'd like to start out with a takedown I can get different limbs for as i progress. Seems best to start out around 30-35lbs and as I get better go up from there. Any suggestions? Hopefully keeping it in the 2-300 range. Thanks.

You can get a brand new Samick Sage takedown recurve for under $150. Ditch the string that comes on it, and replace with a good flemish twist string, and you will be good to go. They are not the prettiest recurves out there, but they function well, and are a great starter bow. You can get new limb sets for about $70 as you progress. Also, if for some wierd reason you did not take to trad shooting, you can resell the Sage with not too bad of a loss.
Good luck!

Did the same myself!!
Then took some crappie tourney winning and picked up a new to me stick slinger!!

Just one hour spent with somebody who has been shooting trad for more than a couple years will help you tremendously.
