My main issue with that weapon combo is your idea that a compound bow would have more range and force than a crossbow, and that you can quickdraw a crossbow. That's backward; crossbows take time and considerably more effort to draw, but can launch a bolt (not an arrow; if you tried to fire an arrow from a crossbow it would shatter and likely harm you) with greater force to roughly the same or farther distance. It also fires similarly to a modern gun, making it easy.

Now if you're making it like Helsing's ridiculous-but-badass piece of machinery, then there is no "quickdraw".
