IF you dont have a mathews you wish you had one????????? That makes no sense. If you can afford the cash for a bowtech than you can afford a Mathews. So why would somebody buy a bow they didnt want that cost the same as a bow they did want?????? However since this is a guardian vs drenalin post ill go ahead and tell this story and my experience with the 2. At the shop monday I went in to talk to Matt(archery department). He told me he finally got modules for the guardian and he only had one 27.5 module which was being set up on a guardian being sold while I was talking to him. I was unsure actually what would feel best so tony the guy buying the bow let me draw it back. Felt perfect. The thing is, laying on the table was a drenalin. He told me it was his and he was gonna see if matt could sell it for him. Since he wanted it sold me and him went around back to shoot it while matt installed the module, and string loop on the guardian.I had nothing bad to say about it. It is a sweet bow and has a great feel. Cant comment on the grip because he had his removed and taped up. Said he couldnt stand the grip. He also told me that sometimes it made a slight rattle sound that sounded like a loose screw but never could figure out if it was something in his rest, sight or the bow itself. After my experience with the drenalin I must say that i really do like the draw and its a great bow. but I really preffered the guardian. My first time shooting the guardian was a few weeks back and it was a 29" draw. Far from my 27.5. I commented that the draw seemed to stack up a bit, which was my only complaint. After matt had tonys guardian set up I finally got to shoot a guardian fitted for me. The draw felt much nicer than on the 29"er. Wasnt nearly as noticable. Still doesnt have that smooth feel of the drenalin though. but the complete shock free, quiet and speedy package makes up for it. I also preffered the way the guardian felt as far a stability goes. Felt heavier and steadier than the drenalin which is what I prefer. Some people like extremely light bows. I never have. All in all ill say that even though I think the guardian is the absolute quietest bow on the planet right now and fits my every need there is no perfect bow for everyone and the drenalin is a great shooter. Either bow is a pleasure just to shoot.
