In that price range I take it your talkin bow only. save your self alot of time and money and deal with a good archery shop... I use both Reedys & Trader Jan's in Fall River. Imo, Trader Jan's is not as hunter freindy as reedy's but I'm had better service at Traders as long as you deal with Jill and NOT her parents.
A good white tail bow should shoot at least 230 FPS(feet per second) most hunting bows do with a hunting arrow(heavier). For about $350 all bow company's make a bow that shoots 250-260 FPS. Another thing to consider is one cam or two. Most guys I see today are shooting one cam bows. A one cam bow is easier to tune verses tuning two cams. I personely have always shot two cams. IMO, its much smoother on the draw. I haven't pulled back every bow ever made but very few bows feel like a two cam. Let-off is another option to consider when buying, most will range from 65% to 80% let-off. If your looking to bag Pope & Young (record book bucks) then you must shoot no more then 65% .....I personley like 75% and 80% is nice too, especialy when you draw on that deer a little to soon and you gota hold it there and it feels like forever.
If you do spend about 350$ on a bow look to spend another $350 on accesseries(sight, rest arrows, release ect.). You won't regret a cent. You get to hunt deer when their at ease and no pressure. just wait till you bang one under your stand.
Good Luck TB
