I bought the guardian and I love it. This bow has the smoothest release and is silent. I also shot the new hoit and if you are looking for speed alone you may want to wheck out this bow, but I would not let speed pursuade you too much. When i purchase a bow I want the one that feels good in my hand. My sugestion to you is to shoot as many diffrent boes as possible before you make your choice.
