I have a Hurricane that has served me well and perforated a number of deer.

I've shot the Cyclone a few times. I Own the Hornet Extreme.  I hunt alot, and I pack in the Nat'l WL Refuges miles back and stay all day.  I hunt treestands.  I also hunt with recurve bow.  So, the speed of the Hornet, along with it's 7.5 lbs, compactness, was what sold me.  I purposely shoot 50 grains more than i need to which i chronographed at 304, as opposed to the 100 grain points @ 314.7.

304 is plenty enough for hunting.  My recurve chronos at 170 fps.   The Hornet wasn't cheap either. I got the string supressors, 6 of the Parker arrows, the Red Hot case, the Red Hot illuminated multi-reticle scope.  I sold a fine Martin Dream Catcher to help pay for it.
