I have a 60# General this year,I shot the 07' Gaurdian lastyear.I like the General better because of the possitive draw stop.I shoot back tension for 3-D,and the Gaurdian felt spungy on the wall for me.I would shoot both,then decide for yourself which one you like better.You can't go wrong with either of these bows in my opinion,both are handshock free,and smooth shooters.
