Good point...

However, I think you may want to take a more in-depth look at the Guardian. The Center Pivot design is nothing short of revolutionary in the manner in which it allows the limbs to flex with such extremely little stress. These limbs actually go way beyone parallel, but with minimal limb-tip travel -- and such a gentle flexing to alleviate any potential stress points. I have to admit I wasn't just ecstatic about the looks of the bow when I first saw a pic of it; then, after seeing it at full draw my mind was changed in a hurry.

A typical limb attaches at the limb pocket, and of course at the other end where the cam is secured on at the axles... This creates what I've seen referred to as a "diving-board effect" at full draw-- especially on the newer parallel-style limbs.

Now, look at what a gentle arc is obtained as these limbs flex:



Of course, we haven't even begun to talk about the efficiency of this system combined with the new center track cam, which is the highest the archery industry has EVER SEEN at an astounding 86%! Compare that with the Tribute -- which is one heckuva shooter, ya gotta admit -- at 81% I definitely think you can mark this one down in the "improvement" column!
