Default RE: New to Bow Hunting

I've taken LBR's comments to heart and have been monitoring some items on E-Bay. There are several Ben Pearson bows up for auction, unfortunately, I really don't know for what I should be looking. I've got the basics, no splits, cracks, twisted limbs, etc. The Pearson bows seem to be the most economical but the names Cougar, Colt, Falcon, etc mean nothing to me. Which bow is best for deer hunting? I'm assuming I should be looking for something with a 50# draw but what is the advantage of 50 vs 45? What is the difference in velocity and down range energy? I apologize for my novice questions. Thanks!
