Find a reputable bow shop, get your draw length set, and figure out what weight draw ya want. Starting off you dont need a 70# draw, I get total pass-threws with 58#... Bear bow packages are ok, I started with one, for the money it did its job, but Im not too impressed with the quaility. Ide go and shoot bows somewhere till one "feels right" is the best way to explain it. Lots of packages out there for 300-400 bucks. Ide get a descent release (50-80 bucks) I like most of the scott releases. Youll save yourself some headaches by goin to a bow shop, and Im not a fan of buying used bows...
