Check with the guy that advertises in PA for Kassai's Horsebows.  I picked up one of his 37# horsebows in a pawnshop for $40 a couple of years ago.  That little sucker shoots pretty good for such a llightweight draw. 

I've started out a few women and kids on that bow and have had 'em shooting good scores in an afternoon.  Really narrow handle, smoooooooth draw, and it seems to not care what spine arrow you lay on the string.

Not to sound like a broken record, but it would be very hard to find anyone better than James Parker to get a bow of that style from.
