I have been shooting a BowTech Allegiance for the past two years and bought a new Guardian about 4 months ago. It is in my opinion the most shockfree bow I have ever shot. It is also extremely quiet and very fast. I am shooting a 328 grain arrow at 64 pounds witha 27 inch draw length and getting 284 fps. Anything over 280 at my draw length is cooking. There is a small issue with the inside upper cable being visible in the upper right portion of my sight picture. I talked with BowTech and they admitted that it is a slight problem. I did switch cable slides and have it moved almost out of the picture. I would say that after a few shots you don't really notice it. Great Bow!!
