I put some more money on my Guardian tonight, but my dealer was busy so I didn't get around to ask him if he had talked to the rep this week. Last thing he told me, was that they were starting to put out a large volume of bows and starting to get into the backlog. He never gave an exact date, but still seemed confident that I would receive my HD Grey Guardian sometime this January. The next time I am up there, I will try and dig for some more answers.
