GMMAT,

One of the reasons I decided against the Guardian was thinking about it like a first year model car. Is it a great bow for sure, but it is the first one to use the pivot technology and the first year at that. Sure enough there were some very early minor problems which have apparently been fixed. But my thinking was that my next bow in 2-3 years will probably be an improved pivot technology bow.

I wonder what the patent situation is b/c I know the Guardian has been very successful and success always breeds copies.
