The main thing with a bow is that it fits you. I recommend starting with a mid range new bow(because if you can't shoot that spending more money won't help you) and some one with know how to teach you hands on.I would go to a proper archery shop(not a sports store)and find out your draw length,eye domanice and find what is comfortable to you.If you want to be ready for next year I would get a bow a bow and start to practice as soon as you can.

my tips for new archers are

1)proper form is a must
2)keep the same anhcor point(with out doing this sighting in is a wast of time)
3)practice when ever you can
4)don't try to pull too much weight (if you can't shoot your bow comfortably in all position it is too much weight )

There is way more than what I have listed but I hope this helps

I was in the same boat as you about a year ago. There is a lot to know about archery equipment, and to fully equip a bow the way you want it can be challenging when you don't yet know what you want...
I personally think the best way is to find a pro shop and spend some time talking with the experts. After talking with the owner of the pro-shop in my area, and looking at a few options, I ended-up buying a package, so that everything you need comes with the bow. I got the PSE Stinger and love it. It was a relatively inexpensive way to get into bow hunting with a quality bow. Now that I have several thousand arrows and a big-game kill behind me, I feel somewhat more seasoned, and if I bought another bow, I would buy each componant seperately....but honestly, there is nothing any other hunting bow will do that my little Stinger will not...
A warning though......bow hunting is like crystal meth....hard to stop once you try it.

Buy a bow hunting magazine and start visiting the websites that are listed with all the manufacturers and suppliers. Lots of good info. Tons of interesting sites to visit and mine for both technical and anecdotal information.
