Hunting should be a labor of love. I would suggest picking up some older - less expensive equipment and have fun. Ask questions as you go and enjoy the process. If you find that you enjoy the sport the rest will fall into place for you. Shooting a deer is about 1% of bow hunting. The other 99% is practicing, scouting, hanging out with other hunters, learning. If the 99% doesn't appeal to you then bow hunting probably isn't your sport.
