Default New bow hunter with a new bow

I live in North Eastern California and have been rifle hunting the past three seasons. My first two, I did not have a lot of time to hunt (new babies and building our own house) but I put in my time last year. I did not get a deer, but felt that I learned a ton. We had our family reunion this last week and my uncle gave me his old bow. My wife has given me permission to get my second deer tag and I would like to bow hunt B zone this year (I have a C tag for rifle). I know really nothing about bow hunting, but will have a good friend who has bow hunted the last 3 seasons.

Here is what I got;

Browning Arro Hunter
Draw 28-29"
Weight 60/70#s
String 97"

3 pin Tru glow sight
unknown 5 arrow quiver
Tranquilizer stabilizer
CAR whisker biscuit
5 - north american hunter 2216 arrows with broadheads
5 - easton gameseeter II practice arrows
some kind of cobra release

I plan on getting a target when I head into town mid-week.

I have only shot it 10 times or so. The last few rounds I was able to put all 5 arrows in a 4" bulls eye at 15 yards. My uncle says the weight is set at the kiddie setting right now. I know practice, practice, practice.

Where do i start to get more familiar with my new bow and get ready for hunting in a short time?
