I had thought about a recurve but I assume you can't have

Some have been built with that in mind. IIRC, that's the system on which the first sight systems were built as were the bow quivers. MY thing, and this is personal, is WHY? Why take a fun thing and make it heavy, cumbersome and "foolproof". What's the purpose of hunting anymore? To eat? For some, it is and they don't bother with archery unless they must. To have collected the biggest rack or specimen? For some, it is. For me it is to challenge myself. To put myself in the shoes of my ancestors, they survived, can I? Also, I just enjoy getting out there. Let's face it, I'm lazy, too. Yeah I'll lug a 8-1/2-pound musket to hunt but a 5-6 pound compound bow, NO WAY!
Such are the contradictory choices in hunting. What it really comes down to is get what you like and enjoy and then go enjoy it. Somewhere, somehow, somebody makes what you want (or made it).
PS - Ok, so I am NOT wide-awake yet this morning and not making a lot of sense...
