I'll add my bow to this thread then.
Martin Ridge Hunter compound.

Great as it goes up to 31" draw, but will wind down as low as 35lbs on draw weight.
Max draw weight is 50lb, which i can just about manage. Currently its set around 42lbs.
Just a few bits left to tweak & set-up, namely serving the peep sight.
MS screwing up my left arm meant i had to find a lower draw weight plus using a wrist release, i find it a lot easier to draw.

I like the Sherwood Bow the best in this thread so far, and hate all the weird shaped fancy ones.
Plain and simple give me an English Longbow and twenty years daily training from aged 5 and I might be able to hit something with it.
That famous Archer from the 40-60's who did all the stunt shooting in the old mediaeval epics? What was his name? He had a series of example films as well I believe and could hit a sparrow on a twig at 50m.
Any links?
Just remembered Howard Hill that's the chap.

This is as good a place as any to post - I'm looking for a beginners-ish recurve bow. I don't want to spend a huge amount but at the same time I don't want rubbish - what price range and makes should I go for, and where should I look?
