You might also try the Women in the Outdoors program, there may be other women hunters in your area that can help you along.

Just out of curiosity you mentioned you were going to "start going with my husband", does that mean you are both new to bowhunting or has he been doing it a while. Just not sure if he's not helping you with this or you just want to do it on your own or what?

Definitely talk to a few people before you buy a lot of equipment, as sad as it is some people out there will take advantage of you just because you are a woman.
