Commander is longer ATA and very forgiving. The Guardian is shorter ATA and not. I am faced with the same decision. Give up a few inches or not.

Shoot them both, plus any other bow you can get your hands on, and then decide for yourself which one strikes your fancy more.

The commander will be a little more stable. However, I haven't found any problems shooting my Ally out to 60 yds at 33.25" ATA and I took 2 years off from shooting.

I was leery of the short ATA bows but after shooting for 5 months don't have a problem with them at all. Practice as much as you can and work on yourgrip, release and formand even the shorter bow will shoot great.

the switchback is easy on the draw but the commmander is better on the shot to me any way.

Just got my commander yesterday. It's an AMAZING bow! But make sure you shoot more than just the commander. I shot the Allegiance as well but I have a very large wingspan so I needed the bigger draw. Get a lineup of about 3-4 bows that you really like or more and go shoot them. Because every body is different and what feels good to me might now feel good to you or anyone else.
Good Luck either way you cant go wrong with a Bowtech

SAM thanks for the feedback.I will be going to shoot the commander and the gardian tuesday.I've shoot the switchback,hoyt vectrix,pse firestorm and x force.I want to shoot the bowtechs because i like a bow with a straight riser and longer brace height,also like the idea of a bow with a longer ata lenght which are becomming harder to find.I shoot the mathews feather max which i believe is 36 ata maybe a 34 someone correct me if I'm wrong.Alot of it depends on how well the bow feels in my hands and how well it aims.SAM is the commander smooth and quiet with little handshock?
