I shot one yesterday and all I can say is "wow". You don't feel anything when you shoot the bow. The best thing about it. It doesn't have all the stirng suppressors on it like the Mathews Drenalin and Hoyt Vectrix andits faster, quieter andless vibration than the two mentioned aboved.Never heard of any problems with them.
I shot one the other day also. Very nice shooting bow but was set at 59#. When we cranked it up to 70#, I felt more vibration and hand shock then both the Drenalin and the Vectrix also at 70#. I would shoot it next to the above mentioned bows with the same arrow. You may find that it isnt as fast as the advertised IBO speed. I grained it out to IBO and couldnt get it over 312 fps.

Dont take me the wrong way. It is a GREAT shooter, just make sure you are comparing apples to apples when you look for aspects such as smoothness of draw, hand shock, speed, etc. Of course, a 55# Guardian has less vibration and hand shock than a 70# Vectrix. But shoot a Vectrix or Drenalin at 60 to64 # and you wont feel a thing!!!
