Just a couple insights.
I've been using crossbows for a LONG time, and here are a few things you should probably consider.
1. Lightweight crossbows are noisier than heavier bows. Felt recoil is much worse as well.
2. This is a matter of opinion, but I'd avoid split limb crossbows (heavier draw weight, more stress on limbs...)
3. The new reverse limb bows (Horton, Scorpyd, etc) are very quiet, but have a special cocking rope. Don't know if you can use a crank.
4. Just as in compounds, don't get too caught up in speed. 300 fps is plenty.
As with everything else, try out as many as possible. Find one that feels right to you.
