Just curious, when you drew the guardian was it set up with the "smooth" or "speed" module? I own a Guardian with the speed module and you are correct, the Drenalin was a much easier draw. I had to choose between the two and in my opinion, and I emphasize my opinion, the Guardian was much quieter than the Drenalin and I honestly didn't feel any hand shock. Those were the two factors that made the Guardian stand out. I didn't haveany problem drawing it so that wasn't a featureI focused on. Congrats on a sweet bow purchase.
