Default Traditional archery question ( arrow )

Hi so I have a problem.start with back ground.
For last 12 yrs I had been shooting a take down recurve it's 62 amo at 50lbs with my draw ( 30) it worked out to I believe just under 55lbs and I shoot a 2317 camo hunter aluminum arrow with a 300 gn point think total weight is around 753 gn,
Few months ago I finally broke down and bought a long bow it's 68 amo at 45 lbs and useing 2117 camo hunter aluminum arrows with a 200gn point total weight is 640 gn and there four feather flech ( loving that part ) it was my dream set up I'd been toying with for years and it works great I shoot it better then my old recurve and even with the lower draw weight seems be faster and penetrate better, now here's the thing I bought 100 arrows so I have a stock pile, but I do miss the take down convieance of being able to just put in my day pack and walk with it then set up when I'm in my rabbit area.
So what lb recurve would I need to get to be able to use the same arrows with it ? I tryed out my old recurve and that was not a good plan arrows all over the place.
So yep just wondering what lb recurve will use those arrows. Any help be greatly appreciated.
