I really have dog in the fight, Ive never shot a katera, Ive seen one shot, and thought it was the quietess bow I had ever not herd... He actually got rid of it and Bought a Marquis... go figure[:-]

Then Rob brought down a General at our little gtg, MAN that bow was perfect, Dead quiet and You have to look at your rest to make sure the arrow is gone..., but like you said, a little on the slow side, but 270 is gonna kill a deer just as good as 290... For Me I would get the general.
