I want a bow

This would be new territory for me.
I have never even shot one but I have a friend who is a big bow hunter and I think I'd like to get into it and learn.
I am a lefty so I believe this complicates my situation a little.
What does it cost to get into owning and shooting a bow?
What are the basics I need to understand?
Thanks.

Get measured at a shop for draw length.
Don't go buy the biggest # you can find just because your friends say they shoot them. 55-70# is plenty.I have a 60-70# bow and could use less.
Keep your arm out of the string! Ask my wife.[B)]
Mine is a 25 yr. old browning probably worth all of $75.00 and I can still hit 3" groups at 30 yards. This year I took a buck with a crossbow and it was not nearly as satisfying as my old compound.
You'll have a lot of fun if you give it a try.
