Look for an archery shop near you. One that you can get to on your own if no one will help you. Now look for an archery shop near you that has any type of shooting range and see if they have league shoots and when they shoot.
If that is a bust then find out any where they are having 3-D shoots.
Now just go there and hang around all you can. When you meet some one friendly mention you are interested in hunting. Since you can't buy a gun and no one you know will help you are interested in hunting with archery equipment. Look on the notice board there for used archery equipment. Tell the shop owner your story and ask if he has any used archery equipment you could purchase to start out with.
If you don't come out of that with some type of bow and a few arrows to shoot, I'd be surprised.
