I get all the bow books well not all but a couple do a lot of reading on them but it all boils down to what you like just as anything goes but being a bowtech man I would say the GUARDIAN , for one i have shot it with the DREnnalin , ROSS cardiac ,the new BOlogic and a couple of hoyts and i say this not because i own one but with each one set on 65lbs the BOTECH line not just the guardian but all bowtechs and Diamond bows out shot the rest on 65 lbs I switched from Mathews for this reason i get more speed and penetration from the bowtech bows than the rest of them with less poundage , i would rather get the speed for distance , and penetration, from less poundage , which everyone knows is easier to shoot than buy a bow that takes 70 - 75lbs to get the same results i did this test at BOWMAN BOBS archery in wva . take the test yourself at your local archery shop but to each his own .... with that said its all what a fella or woman wants in a bow and the ross is a very nice bow as is the rest of them thanks guys and good luck
