Thanks for the mention of a "training" bow.

Sounds like you may want to go the target shooting route. Many people are not hunters, and trust me,,,,hunting with a bow is quite difficult.
Do you have a "Dick's Sporting Goods" franchise in your area? I think they have archery. I don't know about the web site you visited....but I recommend you buy things like a training bow and the target arrows in person, at least the first time. The salesman may even be able to gives leads to archery clubs.
Another 'benefit' of using a hay bale as your target,,,is when placed upright it is almost a perfect simulation of a human torso.
Not to scare you off, but bow shooting is not 'easy'. You will need to be fairly strong to do it(NOT weightlifter strong, though). That's the purpose of the training bow, to build up the muscles used in archery. Hope this helps.
