There's a reason Bowtech makes more bows than just the Guardian... Even though I own one, I'm probably just as stoked about my '07 Allegiance if not more so. I wouldn't limit your choices to that one model.
My thoughts exactly, Greg. To use the other analogy......(and to interject my opinion)...the "Ford" man went in and drove aRangerand based ALL the new models on that one.If he'd only test-driven the "F" series.........
....his opinion on theFord line may have been different.
For the record....the original poster's analogy of the Guardian draw cycle was spot-on with mine.64 lbs. felt like more than I'd ever drawn (thedemo I pulled was set at 64lbs.).
The other bows are great bows (that you tried). I'd be a happy camper owningeither of them......but I'm happier I tried the '07 Allegiance.
