If you don’t get far with online try your local sports store they should be able to help and willing after all there would be a possibility that you may revist them for your equipment. They will aslo have some knowledge of the basics that you would need if you decide to take up archery as a sport. There is even the possibiility that they will be able to point you in the direction of your local archery range.
One option to consider when starting out in archery is to consider purchasing from a specialist store that deals in archery equipment. In a large number of cases owners of such stores have been or are archers and have an indepth knowledge of the sport and would offer help and assitsance beyond what that you normaly expect to get.
These types of experts would also be able to give you help and advice on which bow would best fit your needs.
In almost every case seeking advice from an archery club is the way to progress, remember you really do not want to spend your hard earned cash on archery kit only to find out that you have purchased incorrectly. However learning archery through the use of an archery club can be the more expensive otpion overall, so you should note this early on when making a decision on which way is best for you, but you will leran the skills associated with archery much faster due to the experience available to you.
One last point relating to joining an archery club is that you will be learning from people that have the same interet in the sport and making friends can be easier as all involved have a simialr interest.
Obtaining good training is extremelly important if you are of a competative nature and intend to compete in archery events such as tournaments.

Joining an archery club also offers you the chance to compete against individuals that are better than you which gives you the chance to better yourself, which you will do through gaining experience.
Saftey is paramount and at times can be overlooked even with the best intentionions, you need to remember at all times even at the beginning when you are only starting out that you are basically dealing with what can only be classed as a lethal weapon, so even when practising in open land take care and never use your archery kit in built up areas where there is potential for other people to appear.
Lastly I should mention that at first archery equipment may appear to be an expensive hobby but in reality archery equipment is not that expensive when you take into consideration what it gives back.
Just make sure the kit you intend to buy is the kit that you need as a beginner, it is always worth asking someone with experience first before you buy. Nothing worse that arriving with nothing but the best kit only to make a complete fool of yourself, enhancing the embarassing moment by having to ask for help and finding out that the archery kit you have purchased is more suitable for archers with 25 years experience. Do your research first it will pay dividends
