Archery newbie looking for equipment info?

[Alfredo]

I've only spent about two hours total on a range and decided I wanted to really get into archery (maybe even bowhunting, but that's down the line lol). I'm 5'6" with 25" arm length and I was really comfortable with a 40lb draw weight. I tried out both a recurve and compound, and I liked them both, and am leaving the deciding factor on which one would be easier to maintain on my own without having to pay a pro (eventually, but sooner rather than later).

So, fellow internet peeps, whatcha got for me?
