| I cannot advise you to buy anything until after 1 - 2 months of 2 - 3 times a week of practice.
Join the club, use the beginners kit and get a sembalence of a style.
Then ask the coach and here (if you want).
About the only thing you should get in the next few weeks would be your own finger tab, arm gaurd and chest guard. i.e. the bits that you touch directly become very personnal.
After a few months you will get a feel of how much you are enjoying archery, and therfore how much you are prepared to spend. It will also let you get past the 'want new stuff' period, when you can spend a lot on the wrong stuff, and then get fed up.
There is plenty of second hand stuff arround, although some goes for stupid money on ebay.
Get to the point where you know what your drawlength is (very important), comfortable draw weight, and how much time you can devote to your sport.
If you are a once a week archer, then your bow weight needs to be comfortable to shoot 5 doz with little training.
