    really need a bow to start on - there's a lot to take on when you start with a bow, and if you have a compound then it needs to have the draw length and poundage set to your size and strength. Shooting accuracy and safety really depends on a correct set up. Not trying to turn you off, just saying that there's a bit involved to do it properly, and a learning curve to get the basics of bow shooting right.

    Just to add to that, PM me if you can get to Palmy some time and I'll adjust my son's bow to suit and give you an intro to shooting. The other place to look at is popping in to the Kapiti Archery club up in Waikanae (Reikorangi). They have recurves and someone can introduce you to it there.
