Some pretty good suggestions here. I would also add, that since you are new and in need of guidance, start looking for a local archery club to join and get some hands on advice from some of the target shooters. Accuracy is paramount when hunting and this means havin good fitting equipment and form, which most target shooters have down pat. Hands-on coaching is always preferrable to what you'll get on internet forums.

How to find a local club? Very simply ask at the local pro-shop.
