Everyone is new to Bow Hunting at some point and wants to learn more about it. That's part of the reason that Bowslinger was started, both to educate people about compound bows and for us to learn a bit more about hunting and archery.

As far as tips for selecting your first bow or guides for beginners go, I strongly recommend the Compound Bow Selection Guide by Hunter's Friend. It's an in depth and high quality review of the different parts and pieces of a bow as well as commonly overlooked advice. Check it out, it's a good read.
