Try this site out. If there's a local archery club, visit it and ask if you can just check it out. Archery is fun, I worked on it with my Son, had a great time. Unfortunately, I can't offer any pointers on starting out because it was a long time ago.
Have fun

Here are a couple of web sites that may give you some more info. Also if you can find the Frank Pearson videos they are a little dated but they are full of information. The bowjackson site is the most complete archery link site i have seen on the web.
As far as what equipment to buy if you decide to go compound for a beginner I would start with a proper fitting less expensive bow (slower, longer axle to axle, and at least 7 inches brace height (distance between back of grip and shooting string)). the super fast more expensive bows are harder to shoot and require perfect form. The brand of bow doesn't really matter all the companies make great equipment. Were I would spend the extra money is on the arrows, arrow rest, release and sights. The more you spend on arrows the straighter and closer to the same weight they are. The higher end arrow rests and sights are more durable and easier to adjust. As far as releases this is the only area I will be brand specific I would go Carter or Scott their are others out there but IMO these are the best.

Good luck.... I had to learn almost everything by trial and error. The things that helped me out though... I checked out a book on archery from the library and got my basic stance and grip. I married that up to some very good gun habits the Navy taught me and with A LOT of practice I was able to keep a 6" pattern at 30 yds. The guys at the Pro-Shop should also be a great source of info and you will need them to help you get fitted for your first bow. If you live near a range... sometimes there are people there who are willing to give you a few moments of their time.
When I first started out... I wanted to be a "purist" and release with fingers... more than one person suggested that I should go to a mechanical release and that was a night and day difference... I highly recommend a release. I also use a rear peep and that makes it a little more like rifle shooting (which makes it easier) for me. This translates into more accurate shooting which is more enjoyale to me. All I shoot is a compound and not a recurve, so I dont know if this is all that helpful to you.
To sum it up... I don' know of any web sites in particular, I recommend using your library as a source of info, talk to your Pro-Shop, ask for help at the range, practice. And before each and every shot..... check your anchor points, and say "B.R.A.S.S" Breath(in), Relax(exhale), Aim, Squeeeeeze (don't jerk the trigger), Shoot. Before you know it you will probably be hitting nocks at 30 yds.

I use to shoot a compound bow. My ex husband and i use to enter outdoor and indoor archery tournaments. I was alot of fun. For a beginner i would suggest you find a good used tournament compound bow. Unless you like the good old stick and string but they are alot harder to shoot. The compound bows are so much easier. Then check for local archery stores and they usually have all the information about local tournaments and instructors.
