Default RE: Are crossbows noisier than compound bows?

W/ all due respect, Don, I'm sure from all I've read that the Excel w/ served whiskers is quieter than any other choice.You have a 100% positive feed back on them, impressive to say the least.I just don't want to give up the fps w/ Excel. I've read a deer can hear a twig the size of a pencil break at a 1/4 mile and a car door close at a 1/2 mile. I don't think one can quiet a bow enough to prevent string jump attempts at under 30 yd ranges and have little to no experience at the ones over 35 yds.

I suppose sooner or later I'll have to eat these words, lol. but for now, I like the FFF's. Can you serve whiskers on them? I'll run tests for a string, lol.
