PAbowhntr, What was the draw length on the guardian you looked at? The one i shot was 29" and I shoot at 27.5.The limbs bolts were turned out only a half turn according to the shop and looked that way too. The harsh spot in the draw on the guardian I shot was only for about an inch right before it breaks over into the valley. I will admitt that if it was like this more throughout the draw cycle then I couldnt deal with it. But if it wasnt bothering me shooting a bowwith a draw length thats 1.5" too long for me I know it wont be that bad with one that actually fits me. I think what actually bothers most people is that when your about to break over into the valley it feels like its goin to break over really fast but it doesnt. I think it breaks over pretty smoothly and has a great backwall.
