Check out some of the free info available on this forum and then check out free info at places like,

Easton has a great web page with lots of information and even PSE should be able to send you much of the info you request. Then you have the option of joining IBO and receiving your copies of Bowhunting World each month the helpful tips and up to date info contained within will be of a large help and give the insight to much of the items you spoke of, another web page is setup by Gold Tip arrows and you will be able to gain from their knowledge,
www.lancasterArchery.com is another very helpful site with many tips and pointers to help with tuning and setup.
I hope you will find this useful and welcome to one of the greatest sports you will ever join.[8D]
