First, go to a pro shop that will help in fitting a bow to you and you can decide on if you want to us a release or your fingers, this will be a big deciding factor in the bow that you choose. Second, shoot the bow about two - three hundred times w/o doing any tuning so the string will strech out. Third, practice as much as possible and at first concentrate on your form and release and don't worry about your arrow groups, those will come later. Fourth come here and ask questions as much as you want.
