First, almost any modern bow you purchase will be nice. More money gets you a bow that has higher grade components, but will not buy you more accuracy. If you shoot a lot and plan on keeping the bow for a long time, then the extra cost can be economically justified. I wouldn't stress over it. Choosing a bow brand is the least important aspect of bow hunting. Configuring a proper arrow is at least 100 times more important.

If you can't find demo bows to shoot, I'd recommend choosing by specs. Get the right ATA, brace height, draw length and draw weight. Even cheap bows can be made to shoot accurately and quietly with all the accessories available on the market today. Whatever you do, don't choose one because of it's speed rating, popularity or color (well, color may be somewhat more important than those other things). You'd be better off choosing one from a bow shop that is known for it's competency and service, which is far more important than brand.
