    Welcome to the site and bowhunting! You are going to get a ton of responses from people telling you to buy this bow or that bow. I would take all of it with a grain of salt. Like trucks people have a lot of loyalties to specific brands like Mathews, Hoyt, PSE, Bear and many others. Only you can decide which is the best bow for you. I would find a good shop that carries a few different brands and give them each a shot. The stores should be happy to get them setup for you to try. So figure out your budget and get out and do some homework and find the one you like best! You don't have to worry about it being able to kill a deer or anything like that. Any bow you purchase that is properly set up for you will do just fine.
