Mathews
Hha single pin sight
Fall away arrow rest
Carbon arrows
Rage hypodermic points
String loop
That'll be at least a grand and a good start
Bon voyage!

Have the bow covered, more looking for what everyone brings to the stand with them.

Summit Climber
Reinhardt target bag

Go to Bowie's and shoot a number of bows- the bow I wanted when I started wasn't the best shooter for me.

Congrats, it's the most fun thing you will ever do.

Gotta have a rope to pull your bow up to the stand, screw in bow/bag holder, range finder, cover scent/scent killer, light weight clothes because it's hot as hell, thermocell with plenty refills, and I always bring a back up release just in case something happens to my primary one.

This should be your very first bow hunting supply purchase. If not you might be selling all your equipment

Most every body mentioned the material things you need, the other thing is practice/confidence. Shoot daily. All different angles, ranges, times of day. Shoot from your stand so you get the feel for what it's like drawing your bow while in a tree. Practice while wearing your harness and all of your camo. Congrats, nothin quite like it.
