    The bearing number, whether shooting or taking, is always the measure of degrees relative to true north?

      Yes. Here we are using azimuth compasses where the degrees are 0 to 360, and the compass is adjusted for magnetic declination.

    In order to shoot a bearing one has to take a bearing to have a starting point ?

      No, not really. You can be at a starting point, a trailhead or roadside landmark, a property boundary marker and then be given a bearing by someone from there along which to travel. For example, I can tell you that once you get to a certain landmark along a trail, you then need to travel along a bearing of 78 degrees to get to your next destination, so once you get to the landmark, you shoot a bearing of 78 degrees and proceed.
