If you know your recurve draw length, you could start looking for a compound bow that is at least one inch shorter than that, to take into account the release aid.Getting the draw length close to what you need is important, even for trial purposes.
I would go for a modestly priced bow that is fairly up to date.
You may manage with your current arrows and sight for some time to come.
Get a good release aid and learn how to use it properly.
Where you have mentioned "a modestly priced bow" would a Martin Jaguar bow with accessories and case come into that bracket at arround £200-250?

Seen one for sale and was wondering if it would be worth going for it for that type of cash?
