Default Drenalin vs. Guardian

I got to shoot both bows today along with the xt. I was very impressed with how fast the arrow seemed to fly out of the guardian. There were two things I did not like about it. One was the grip that just seemed too skinny for my taste. The other was the weight. It seemed to be a bit top and bottom heavy. While it did not seem to bother me while shooting, it was noticable while just holding and handeling the bow. I was impressed with it overall.
The Drenalin seemed to fit me to a tee. Better balance and lighter in weight than the guardian. Like the guardian the drenalin had little if any hand shock and was just as quiet. I don't think I could go wrong with either bow but the Drenalin felt like it was made for me. I will be buying one soon.

Well, yes they seemed to be alright. I guess if they bothered me I would go with the xt.

Yes, I am not knocking the guardian at all. It is a beautiful bow. Just not right for me. The drenalin is right for me but maybe not with others.
