I have a Stryker, my daughter has a Wicked Ridge. I think the Stryker is made by Bowtech. They are all loud, to the point of being ridiculous. I am glad I don't have to hunt with one. I prefer my stickbow or Hoyt Carbon Matrix and I am very lucky to be in good enough shape that I don't have to use a crossbow. The amount of noise they make cause you to have to be careful when you take your shot at a deer. Crossbows are fast, but not faster than the speed of sound. Deer will still jump the string and they do it worse with crossbows.
Suggest you get a portable press if you do go with a compound crossbow...they are cheap enough and you will need it. They are easy to use and save you from running to the pro shop when the bow gets out of time or needs a string.
