Finally, after years of talking about it, I want to get into trad shooting/hunting. Looking for a decent bow in good condition, obviously. Right handed, and I guess atleast #50.

When I started, I picked up 2 bows, one was 30# and the other was 45#. I suggest you start lighter so you can get your form down without struggling to draw or hold. I learned form on the lighter bow and am still practicing with the 45 before I take it in the woods.

Go right to 3 Rivers website. You can get a nice Bear Grizzly for just over 300 bucks. Save yourself the aggravation of buying used and then agonizing about wanting to buy a new one because you love it so much. Even if thats too much to spend, they can steer you in the right direction. They have outstanding customer service. Even if you do go used, they will help you get set up with arrows and such. Also, check out the trad section here and read through the stickys. Lot of good info or links to good info.

FYI, recurves are rated at a 28" draw and I think it increases 3# for every additional inch of draw so a 30 inch draw on a 30# bow would give you an effective draw weight of 36#.
I'd confirm the 3 lbs per inch of draw with one of the trad guys. I know that I have a shorter draw length with the recurve that I do with a release and wheel bow.

I have a 45lb Bear Grizzly that I would give you (free, gratis, por nada) - pm me if interested I am in Asbury (West NJ - not Asbury Park).
I agree on the starting low point because there is no let off on a trad bow so if you are used to shooting a compound it will be a bit different.
