Why should I stoop to the level common for most internet-addicted teens? Bad grammar and stupid attention grabbing trolling does not exactly get any good answers on any forum. Of course, 100% of the time, that is to be expected here, as the questions and answers are both immature and ignorant.

I hadn't thought of wiki to be honest, but they may very well have instructions on beginning archery. I am at the moment browsing archery websites, as those would be the best place to look, but I had hoped someone on here might steer me in the right direction.

I don't even know how to begin the hobby;
Do we need licenses to have bows and arrows?
Do we need to go through classes?
Can we do this recreational or do we need to sign up for one of those group hobbiest things?

If we do this freelance, if we even can, I think that would be the most difficult to learn from, but classes tend to be expensive and time consuming, and these two factors are hard to work around.

You don't need to go to any classes either. You just go to a store and buy it and then you can do whatever you want with it.

I personally wouldn't take a class if I was starting out in it, I've shot quite a few bows and crossbows, it's pretty straightforward and only requires experience to be able to aim it effectively, which you'll gain in time. You could probably just research a little bit about proper form on the internet and that'd provide you with enough basis to excel from there.

No, you don't need a license to own a bow. You would only need a license if you intended to hunt with it, in which case you'd have to get a hunting license.

Just a tip:
Aim for the apple, not the head.
