Same here. When looking for a new bow I went to the range expecting to buy a Guardian. I pulled it back at 60 lbs (I shoot 70#) and it felt like about 72 or so to me. I thought, hmmm thats weird, wonder if all the new bows are that way. I picked up a Hoyt Vectrix and it was smooth as silk. So I thought, maybe its a bowtech thing, then I picked up an 07 Bowtech Tribute and well, I now own a Tribute!

In my opinion the Guardian is a good looking bow with everything I am looking for after the draw. But I can't see having Buck Fever in the top of a tree, struggling to pull back 65#'s, when I can shoot my Tribute at 70# and not struggle.
