Haven't shot in 3-4 years easy (wish I could get around working weekends), but a great pastime, my 2 closest friends & I left the girlfriends/wives at home pretty much every weekend a 3D shoot was scheduled anywhere within 200km of home. Outdoors was almost always traditional/instinctive using bows friends had made, while indoors one friend & I shot compound. I shot a Pearson target bow, freestyle unlimited (all the bells & whistles, stabilizers, V-bar, 4" overdraw, 6X scope with a 2X peep). IMHO the traditional guys are WAY MORE FUN to shoot with (we never kept score) but the unlimited stuff was incredibly challenging (talk about an expensive hobby though!!!!).
Wildcat, if you were in my area (even some of the northern states south of Ontario) I might be able to point you to a couple of organizations but don't know anyone in texas. Try Googling "archery for beginners" or "texas archery clubs" and start reading, there's actually quite a bit of info online and check your local colleges & rec centers for lessons/leagues, you'll find something! Feel free to PM if you have questions, I'll gladly help if I can.
