I would like to thank everyone for confusing me completely. Not only do I not know what type of bow to buy I now am dumbfounded by which accessories to put on it. So many threads, too much to learn. Ah crap

Well it should tell you one thing, there are a lot of pretty good choices out there today

I was looking at the Gaurdian, just noticed it doesn't have the roller and string supressor like some of the other bows in its class. The General has it, so does the 82nd and 101, Even the Mathews has the roller. Somewhat confusing.

You don't need the roller, there is nothing wrong with the cable slide. The guardian I presume wasn't upgraded with the shortstop because it was not considered the flagship of Bowtech for 2008. You can simply add a Mean V suppressor and have a great bow. The guardian is a great bow, close to the same feel as the General at the shot. It is smooth,I wish I had the money to get one right now.

Just shoot as many bows as you can and then pick the one that you keep wanting to pick up and shoot. Quivers are personal preference, a lot of good releases on the market, I like the g5 sights but own a spott hogg-cant go wrong and I suggest a drop away rest. Good Luck!!
