Going to to basically jump off on what everyone else is saying and say just find a match and go shoot it. More or less how I started off shooting. Just be warned if you want to get competitive you are going to spend some money. Seriously we have joked about when we started off shooting competition that instead of asking if we wanted to shoot the coach should have asked if we wanted to spend 10K. But then over a decade later, many wins, state titles, and several guns later I don't quite complain much, lol.
But, again, go to the shoots, chances are if you are missing something there is someone there who is more than willing to lend you what you need to shoot. In my experience I have been to exact ONE shoot that when I asked questions not only did I get my answer I got an entire break down of everything, in so much detail that I could not digest it, and I know I am just as bad with new shooters as well, even while handing them a gun, and telling them, or trying to, what to do. Most shooting sports are very open to new shooters, and it is rare that you don't see it. But again, the biggest thing is go and try it.
