Do you mean primitive archery?

Find a good archery shop or Cabela's and talk to them about fitting the bow to you for draw length draw weight arrow length and weight then they can recommend a bow in your price range and what fits you you will have a lot more fun if you have the correct how to shoot with I hunt and shoot for fun love it

I’ve wanted to get into bow hunting for years as well. Only having 1 week of gun season here in Ohio makes it tough because something always happens and I miss 3-4 days of it each year. I also just like the idea of having another excuse over several months to go sit in the woods haha. I’m going to definitely follow this thread.

Based on this question being 2 months old i am behind the curve hear. There are some really great people doing YouTube videos that will answer many of your beginning questions. As to gear first you will need to decide if you want to shoot a Long Bow, Re curve or a Compound Bow. All have there strengths and weakness. Have you looked into a local archery club? Are there any places local to you that offer classes?
