I'm in your shoes too!  I recently met with some folks from NWTF, and they were very helpful.  I think they're going to try to do more events in the future.  I'm getting the impression that the most information/help will be gained through finding contacts and building a network, and learning by failing A LOT.  I'd check with your local sporting goods stores about possible events too.

I hope someone with more experience responds, because I'd like to hear about these things too.
