All the same, how much does a good hunting bow cost?
Many compound bows cost over $1,000, but Wenberg said you'll find high-quality bows for under $500. A more expensive bow won't necessarily make you more accurate. In fact, some faster, more expensive bows give beginners trouble. “You want a bow that's forgiving and easy to shoot because you're learning,” Wenberg said.
For that reason, how many fps does a bow need to kill a deer? Deer have been killed with recurve or long bows that shoot less than 200 feet per second, and I'm sure there are guys out there hunting with 320 fps bows, maybe even faster. The thing with getting a super fast bow is getting the broadheads to fly well, which is the reason you see so many mechanical heads nowdays.

What type of bow is best?
Recurve bows: Recurve bows shoot faster and more powerfully than a long bow because of the number-three shape. At the tips, the bow curves out toward the target. The draw length on a recurve bow is more important than on a longbow. A traditional bow's bowstring can be drawn back as far as you are able.

Anything in the 250-300fps range is perfect. I believe, for most archers) if you are faster than 300fps you could trade some speed for a heavier(more efficient and forgiving) arrow. Slower than 250fps go to lighter arrow for a better trajectory. on a deer you would miss the target at 250, while you are a low 8 at 300.
Even with today's small profile, fixed-blade heads, most experts recommend a maximum arrow speed of 260-270 fps. Beyond that, broadhead planing becomes problematic for all but the very best archers. Today's fastest bows are awesome in their ability to deliver speed.
Actual Velocity That alone will usually reduce the speed to 325 to 330
fps. Add two
string silencers and peep sight, and you can expect to be down to 315 to
320 fps. Set your
bow to 60 pounds instead of 70, and you'll likely land in the 300 to 310
fps.
