Love the draw on the DXT. I feel like it is too short. I like my Drendalin better. With an STS, it is very quiet and dead in the hand.

The Guardian was a dream at the shot, it was getting there that I didn't like. It felt like it was excessively heavy for a bow with just a rest on it and I hated the draw cycle, but that is very subjective to each person.

If I were forced to choose between the DXT and the Guardian, I'd probably go with the DXT just because I think for hunting having a draw cycle you are comfortable with is very important. Personally, neither bow would be a first choice for me.
