That depends very much on the type of archery you mean. Modern Olympic-style archery uses very expensive top-of-the-range high-tech compound bows and arrows with a huge range of add-ons such as sights, spirit levels, counterweights, doinkers and release aids.
Nobody needs to go to that extreme, unless they have a lot of cash to devote to the hobby, although many people do. Many others go for more historic styles of archery using very simple longbows or other bow types from the past - no sights, arrow rests, counterweights or other gadgets are involved. The equipment simply consists of a bow matched to your height and arm strength, arrows matched to the bow, a "bracer" or arm guard to prevent the string removing all the skin from your left forearm, a shooting tab or glove, a target and perhaps nets to catch any arrows that miss.
If you shoot with other people in the area, a safe distance must be maintained between you and the audience. Keep everyone behind the archer and never shoot if anyone is ahead of you on each side (or even behind the target.
A shooting club is the best way to learn archery and they will ensure that all the safety aspects are covered.
It all depends on your style of bow and what you use it for.
For example: If you use a compound bow for target practice, the pros use: a counter balance, peep-hole, a release, a "d-ring", arrows, a bow, a quiver, and tools to adjust equipment.
The equipment for archery would be:
1. Bow with a suitable bowstring
2. Arrows and a side or back quiver for them to be held in
3. Bracer on your bow arm (some archers may be seen without one, but this is more out of masochism than skill)
4.Finger tab/finger glove/modern trigger for arrow release (optional but strongly recommended)
5. Sights and stabilisers (very optional, archers shooting "barebow" or those using traditional bows will not use such mechanisms)
6. Knife, a folding/lock knife is not recommended, it should have a solid rat-tail or full tang as well as a sheath to carry it in. Make sure it is single edged.
7. Miscellaneous optional items, such as beeswax to preserve bowstrings, nocking pliers for adding/removing nocking rings from your bowstring, snacks and drinks for the enduring archer, etcetera.
