Welcome to the family.  I'm with the shoot other bows before you buy guys but if that can't happen you might consider a Samack sage takedown bow.  I shoot a Bamabow and a Sage is not in the same class (maybe) but the Sage is less than 1/2 the price of the bottom end one and it is a shootin sucker.  I bought my wife one from Three Rivers and got it in about two days.  It was kind of load until I put silencers on it then it was fine.  I got the 35# limbs and for $70 you can get another set of limbs anywhere from 35-55#.  It can grow with you.  Believe me you will hurt yourself if you start too heavy.  Those muscles we don't use for much.  The bow is pretty but has some dings that a little more sanding would have fixed but it isn't very noticeable. It is a lot of bow for the bucks.  You can grow with it and then go crazy like the rest of us and buy your self silly.  I said I only wanted one---oh and of course a back-up---and....

You say that you are completely new to archery and then you say that your draw length is 27 inches.  This makes me wonder how you might know that.  What is your age, height, weight and general physical condition?  These details play into your initial bow selection.  Please stay away from the archery pro shops that sell primarily compounds, they are full of "pros" who know nothing about trad but will never admit it. Enjoy the ride.  :)

I'm guessing on my draw length based on the average of a couple different formula's I found online.  I would love to find an archery shop that doesn't sell primarily compounds, but they seem to be hard to find, at least here in lower NY.  I've been looking at a used bow for around $100 possible a Ben Pearson, a bear from the 60's or something like that in the 40# range.  wish me luck
