Here is one small pointer that should pay huge dividends in the end.

Seek the advice of a coach!

You are at a pivitol point in the sport. You have not yet developed those bad habits that will have to be unlearned before you can learn the correct ones.

A couple of sessions with a good coach should get you off on the right track, and keep you from falling into the botomless abiss of bad habits and poor technique. Good, consistent form is the key to archery. If you have it, then practice will improve things. If you don't have it, practicing only serves to more deeply engrain that bad form into your head.
