My generic advice is join your local club and use their gear with (hopefully) someone good watching over when you're new to this, its a game of habits and its best to start with good ones.
But, start light, the lighter the better even if you buy cheap and upgrade when you start feeling it.
Mustang is 60" right? Personally I'd go longer starting out, and I'd check classifieds or see if you can't find the discontinued Samick Journey (64") or similar. Short bows (on a budget) stack, give finger pinch and are unforgiving in the shot, but if you're a hobbit then it's not a problem.
