Sarmat bow choice, and arrow selection for brand new user?
TLDR: There is no TLDR. Context is needed, and if you can't bother to read this, then you likely don't care enough to answer in the first place.

I bet these questions are answered / ignored every day, but the archery scene is entirely too complex for me to figure it out solo.
Up till yesterday, the most I've ever interacted with a bow was in Kingdom Come Deliverance 1/2. Got to go to a ren-faire with a friend and got to shoot a bow for the first time. Loved it.
The coach was surprised I was hitting good groups from the get-go at 15 Yrds. Firearms are my thing, so maybe some of it bled over. That said, I have no clue what poundage, draw length, or size the bow was. It was a modern bow of takedown design, no sights, an arrow "ledge"(?), and I used synthetic arrows.
I want to learn on a primitive bow, capable of not just target shooting use but also capable of hunting and anti personnel use. No, I won't be using it for the latter two purposes, I have firearms for that, BUT I still want it to be capable of it regardless.
So far, I think I'm settled on getting a Sarmat Archery bow, specifically the Alan or Skolot bow in 45LB draw. What's the consensus on these? If anybody has first-hand experience with these bows or other Sarmat bows, I'd love to know what you think of them in the most detailed way possible. I also have to ask, should I get the arrow "notch" on the grip? Seems a good way to keep the looks of a longbow with a more repeatable arrow placement without having a shelf like a recurve.
If you have other bows to recommend, I'd like to know of them too, but I doubt I'd get anything that wasn't made in China-stan, or built out of recycled toilet paper.
And finally, what kind of arrows should I get? I understand most use a type of simple head for target use while using different designs for hunting, but I just want cheap, plentiful arrows for generic use. I don't have Cabelas / Dicks / Bass Pro here in Puertor Rico so these HAVE to be available online in places like Ebay, Amazon, or specialty retailers that hopefully ship to my God-forsaken island. The main thing is they have to be cheap. I'll be shooting a ton and likely breaking these things, I won't spend good money just to watch these snap on rocks. I see Sarmat sells their own wooden arrows complete for 4$ a piece so they should be around this price range if not cheaper for 6/12/24 pack of them.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and answer. If you have any counter questions for me, go ahead, and I'll answer best as I can.
