Smile Newbie! Help!

Every summer for the past few years, when I'm out of school and have the time, my hand itches towards the Outdoor Channel on our TV. I've always loved hunting shows, the outdoors, and helping out whenever my Uncle brings home his trophies. Every year I've wanted to get in on it personally but my Mom said I was too young. Well now I'm sixteen and looking to buy my first bow, arrows, everything.

The only problem is that my mom's failed attempt to shelter and deter me has led to me being somewhat ignorant about... well, everything. I've been trying to learn as much as I can online, reading forums and reviews and archery blogs but I still feel woefully ignorant every time I come across yet another term or piece of equipment I don't know. Can anyone offer me some first hand advice, experiences, what I'll have to do and what I'll need to get out there this autumn or next?

Thanks a lot (: I look forward to your responses.
