First up, don't believe the hype.
There is no advantage to a shoot through cable system. It won't give you any points at all in a FITA but will involve more strings and more fiddling.
Also FITA rules state you can not have the cables touching your arm while at full draw, which if you have good shoulder alignment you will. So unless you want to use bad technique then the bow is illegal anyway.
Convential cable systems will stack arrows at 70m so unless you are better than a machine then don't waste you time looking at shoot through bows, not that they would help you anyway.

Your money will be best spent on a quality bow like a Bowtech or a Hoyt.

Red face A little knowledge

Guys...

All of your input is very helpful and thought provoking. I've just finished resetting-up my 1995 Browning, went to the club yesterday evening, did some basic sighters at 20, 30 and 40 yards then shot 330 with 42 arrows at 40 yards using imperial outdoor scoring on a 60cm target face.

Our club has a "Target 300" scheme at 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 yards (badges being white, black, blue, red and gold respectively). Recurve archers get a full 122cm face!!!

Despite the fact that the bow (in bow years) is even older than I (in sort of human years), then I was slightly chuffed.

Happily, my good wife has given me a budget that will enable me to purchase a good quality bow of one to two years of age.
