bowtech commander or gardian
 

thinking of buing a new bow,leaning oward the commander or gardian,does anyone have any sound advice for me.[:@]

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.

RE: bowtech commander or gardian
 

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.

yea thats my issue i like a bow with a longer ata,but the commander may be a little to long.i shoot a mathews feather max now,but i want to change and i think i want a longer bow wich is more forgiving is the commander and gardian dependable,smooth quiet,and trouble free?

i have a commander but i would have got the gardian if my draw was not 31 1/2" but very happy with the commander and also the switchback ld

RE: bowtech commander or gardian
 

yea i'm think either going to get a bowtech or switchback. i shot the switchback and it shoots great,now i want to shoot the commander and gardian.i've been shooting the mathews feather max for about 10 years now and still luv it,but i just want a change.

RE: bowtech commander or gardian
 

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?
