I think the Samick Sage is probably the best value in a take down recurve. There are variable weight replacement limbs that go from 25lb to 60lb draw weights. A 55# bow is considered the best practical hunting weight in north America but quite a few dedicated target shooters never go over 25#. I wouldn't go under 40# for medium size game like deer.

Your best bet is to bring your friend to an Archery shop. There are some important considerations to fitting a bow and they are accentuated with someone with strength or flexibility problems.

What about a Bear 76er Recurve Custom Take Down Bow?
It's decribed as

The bow has a brown magnesium handle and white fiberglass limbs with black tips.
Most of the decals remain on the bow although some show wear.
The bow does have a sight pin.
The limbs show some discoloration/scratches and some rust stains at the point of insertion into the metal handle.
The tips appear to be in very good condition.
I would say the major issue would be the rust at the area of insertion for one of the limbs....one "bridge" shows some minor rusting while the other appears to be in very good condition.
Both of the holding "bridges" holding the limbs in appear to be very solid.
The bow does not have a string and I see no indication of the poundage for the bow.
This model of Bear bow appears to have come in four different draw weights (25/30; 30/35; 40/45; 45/50).

I don't know what "a pin" means in terms of archery.
Is there much difference in older technology, versus today's tech?
