What's a good deer bow?

I wouldn't pay much attention to speed at all.
As far as draw weight is concerned, don't think of so much as working your way up to drawing more weight; rather, drawing and holding a draw weight. What I mean is, a 60lb max draw weight bow is more than sufficient to shoot deer and most other north american game - it doesn't matter in the least how far your arrow travels once it passes throught an animal and 60lbs will pass through. I have no clue how big, strong, or old you are -70lbs may be fine for you to draw, but that much weight isn't necessary.
Axle to axle lenght is a tough one. I'd suggest something around 34" for a beginner. There are some advantages to a shorter bow, but some disadvantages as well.
Hoyt makes a good bow. I don't know too much about reflex, but they appear to be a good bow to start with - and maybe use for years.
you gotta shoot 'em first to be sure you find the one you like.
