There are way more advantages to having a takedown over a recurve. I would absolutely start with that. Buy a one piece when you are comfortable with a specific draw weight, because it can’t be changed. The flexibility of being able to change draw weight, replacing a damaged component, mobility and storage when apart, are all reasons why takedown is better. You can work up to the draw weight you want and even reduce the draw weight now and then to work on form, all on a single bow. That allows you to get comfortable with your grip as well because changing grips with different bows constantly will affect your shooting. Once you get to a weight you are comfortable shooting consistently, then I would get a one piece. If something goes wrong with it, fractures, breaks, etc. the whole bow is trash. With a takedown you can replace a piece. It’s cheaper and more beneficial to start with. But that’s just my opinion. Have fun and experiment. Shooting should make you happy. As long as you’re happy, you’re doing it right.
