X3 on an excalibur re-curve cross bow.
I have shot a few compound cross bows, but for the dependibily, and simplicity of the design, I would go re-curve.
Also, for local companies, check these guys out. Personally never shot one, but I love buying local. I think most of their stuff is manufactured in the states, but they are a canadian company from Stayner Ontario.

I think they make both Compound and recurve crossbows, and offer a lifetime warranty.
