Hi Tom, and welcome to the forum!
I found these internet links very helpful when I was starting, just to have a step-by-step description of basic technique:

(There are many other helpful pages on this site as well!)

Most clubs/coaches will have their own versions of this shooting sequence (anywhere from 9 to 12 steps), but they all follow more or less the same mold.
One bit of advice
: I know February is going to feel like a long way away, but don't be tempted to buy any equipment until you've had proper coaching and a few different bows in your hands at your club.
Best of luck!
