My question is this: the AFB has less cast than the recurve at a given draw weight. How much less? I'm looking in particular at the Viper, but also the SLB, Internature etc. For now I'm definitely looking at a roughly £100, so no Zetas or Merlins, alas.
Drawing 29-30", what kind of range will I be getting from a 40/50/60lb bow? How heavy would I need for outdoor target should I decide to go for it?

I suspect that with modern deflex/reflex carbon AFB's the're prety close now! My Zeta was damn fast .... My new Zeta C will be too.
Never conclusively tested the cast/range ....... Lost to many arrows trying!
Sorry I just saw you can't stretch to that. ... I've no real experience with bows in that price range but if you can stretch your limit some it will be well worth it. You of course get what you pay for and your level of enjoyment increases with quality too. :-)
I would sugest around the 45# mark would be more than enough.
