Lonster that's a heck of a good shot with a stick bow at 25 yards. Congrats!
Woodsman, whatever poundage you think you can shoot, drop it by 10lbs. If you can buy one of those bows from Amazon for $100, I'd suggest getting a 40# bow. Get your form down, then go up in poundage. As an example, when I started shooting a stick bow, I was 2o years old. I was shooing a PSE Fireflight compound set on 85 lbs. I shot it every day, for at least an hour a day. I bought a 65# recurve and I never could shoot it worth a dang. I ended up buying a 50# bow later and got decent with it but I had a whole lot of bad habits to overcome from trying to shoot a bow that was too heavy for a decade or more. If you have a long draw length, go way lighter than you think. They're all measured for pounds at 28" draw.
