308,

Besides the obvious you will have to consider how you want to shoot.  If with fingers then you will need a tab.  If not then a release is in order.  You will probably want a sight on the bow, need an attachable arrow quiver, target points for practice and broadheads for hunting, of the same weight.  The bow will also require an arrow rest.  It looks as though you have not gone this route before so I would head to an archery store and see what they recommend for you to get started in your price range.  I would be careful and seek advice before buying used.  Also if you buy in a pro shop they will most likely teach you some things about shooting and hopefully they have an archery range there where you will get some free practice time.  This could save you hours and hours of frustration over trying to learn all by yourself.  Oh, and you will need a good target to practice with.
