Mathews Drenalin vs. bowtech guardian
 
Im buying a bow in a couple of weeks and like the drenalin. I have shot the switchback xt, ross cardiac, hoyt vetrix, buthavent shoot the bowtech or diamond bows. I've heard everyone say that each bow is better than the other for all sorts.

Is the guardian worth shooting?

Is it just preferance and with the good bows you can't buy a "bad" bow just personal preference is what most go with.

-thanks

You might want to try the Diamond Back Ice as well.

Yes, the guardian is worth shooting. It as well as the others you have shot is a great bow. And yes, they are all good bows, it is almost entirely preference and that is why you should shoot them all and then determine which you like most.

I would also shoot the new x-force from pse....check out there page for videos of x-force against other brands..shooting style will most likely determine the bow you buy though. I don't think you could go wrong buying any of them....all good bows.

always.....good hunting

You NEED to shoot the Guardian and as many Bowtech bows as you can. Trust me, I currently shoot a Switchback and I just got to shoot the Guardian and the Allegiance. Let me tell you I will be buying another bow. It will be from Bowtech but it is going to be hard to decide on which one. Make sure that you shot everything before deciding. :D

I would say you owe it to yourself to shoot it. I honestly dont think any of them are better, maybe one may be a tiny in one particular area but overall its a comfot/feel thing for me. Some bows just feel better in my hand than others. All of the mainstream bows are fast, quiet, and made with quality parts. I'd love to own and shoot any one of the bows you mentioned.

Thanks for all your help. I am going to the Bowtech dealer today and hopefully shoot the Guardian and Allegience.

Thanks again

If going to Bowtech dealer,

I would say to also try the Tribute. I tried all 3 and went with Tribute. The Allegiance and Tribute
are more similar than the Allegiance and Guardian. The Allegiance is a little faster, a little lighter,
and a little longer ATA than the Tribute.

I think you did good. I was shooting a Mathews Switchback until a friend made me shoot his BowTech Allegiance. What a friend. That cost me some money. I now have an Allegiance and a Guardian. Good hunting!!

Personally i hate the feel of the Guardian. Thats just me though. And i love the feel of the Drenalin. I felt the Guardian was a little heavy and awkward feeling, but again thats just me. Shoot them and see what you think. But for me, id go with the Drenalin.
