Thats what I did, Bought a new leftover guardian, put the new QAD rest and HHA single pin 2" sight for a few dollars more than the price of a bare Admiral. I'am completely satisified with this bow.

very nice! I was stuck between a QAD rest or Ripcord, went with the ripcord, we'll see how that works out.

I shot a Ripcord on my Guardian last year. It is a good rest. I have a LimbDriver now and I really like it.

Do you prefer your limbdriver over the ripcord? If so, why?

Yes I do. It was very easy to setup. I also like the way it attaches to the top limb instead of the cables. The one thing I like better about the Ripcord though is you can lock the launcher up so your arrow won't fall off.

Yeah its give and take with all of them I think. Thanks for sharing that info though. We'll see how that ripcord goes. I need to post a pic of my new rig somewhere too dont i?? lol

Hey guys. I'm brand new to this site and hoping you could help. I stumbled in here while doing research on the Bowtech Gaurdian.
