Re: Which crossbow is better
Recurves are simple and easy to maintain, are lighter, and the faster ones are also wider.
Compounds tend to be more compact, heavier, and have twice the string/cable to maintain. Easiest way to have it all covered.......buy at least one of each.  I did.

Yes, poundage is different, but so would a vertical be if it were <30" ATA with a 14" draw length to achive the same speed. If you're going to compare, then compare apples to apples. Bottom line: A crossbow, to achive similar balistics to a vertical, will aways be noisier. It's one of the drawbacks of needing 175# draw weight to get 300fps+, because you only have a 14" draw length. It's also the reason for fixed trigger release. (just try to draw and hold 175# @14" by hand  )Some manufacturers are starting to make lower draw weight bows with longer power strokes to get the desired speed. Bullpup style and reverse limb technology bows make it possible, w/o adding length, so the bow isn't to un-weildy.
