Well,,, you never said what style you are doing soo,, here is all the resources I could think of. I hope you are not afraid of reading...

• Nusensei does some beginner stuff. Upvote, /u/Tashamedved they said that first.
  
  
• There is some ok videos on youtube if you looking for specific information. Upvote, /u/Brileh they said that first.
  
  
• Archery Reference 5 pdf, free download for compound information.
  
  
• Fita Intermidate Coach's manuals Free pdf's containing various information for both olympic recurve, barebow and competition compound. Probably what /u/brileh was refering too.
  
  
• Buyers guide for target shooting. It is a bit out dated with the new 2017 gear rolling around, but it will give you an idea what is high end and etc.
  
  
• Nuts and bolts of archery is a good resource for compound users.
  
  
• Some books I reccomend are The Simple Art of Winning: How To Shoot Your Best, Archery USA, and for more intermidate to higher level Total Archery, Inside the archer.

  /thread???
  
  Edit: MOAR MOAR LINKS!!!

Kim Hyung-Tak's Archery and Ki-Sik Lee's Total Archery are the go-to textbooks and should be your first stop if you have any questions/problems

USA Archery's book is also supposed to be pretty good but I haven't read it

Also, am I the only person who noticed OP asked for recurve archery? Why are people going on about compounds and zen and trad bows?

Contact them and ask what they supply.

My wife did this for me. The place she picked supplied the equipment and coached us along through the basics. They offered two courses that meet each Saturday for six weeks. At the end of the second course we decided we liked it so much that we went to a 'local' pro-shop and got set up with decent equipment that should last us for quite some time. I put local in quotes because the closest pro-shop to us is a 90 minute drive.

Now we've joined a local club, shoot regularly and are thinking of going to some tournaments.

For books, here's the two I bought:
