It depends on wether or not money is an issue. I would go to an archery shop and get properly measured and test a few different draw weights out. In my oppinion you are better off to find a decent used set up that someone is selling as a whole package. Buying a new bare bow and outfitting it can be big time exspensive. If you want new...everybody has their favourites. I think then you want to go and see as many bows as you can. Get the one you like most. Most of the major brands all have similarly performing bows its the look and feel that will be different. My 2c.
It's better to pass on a shot that you wish later you took, then to take a shot and wish later you didn't.

3kills every body gives good advice like go to a bow shop and try as many bows as you can . But where around merrit there is savana archery is likely the only bowshop even close to you. But there is a active archery club in merrit find them. Most guys will let you try there stuff you mite even find a good used bow.

You are probably doing it right starting with a compound as the natural transition is compound to Longbow/Recurve.
