No doubt Greg, note I used the term "use" not "stuck with"...I might be stuck with the Mrs. but I'll use the Tribute for a couple more years.

My BC was on the low side of the rating. I must say this was a little disappointing.... but what can you do. It is still plenty fast however, the BC came in at 70# 29 inches 310 feet per second.

At those specs (70# 350 grains) and a 30 inch DL it should shoot 321-329 as stated by BT. So adding the 10 FPS for a one inch increase in draw length my bow wouldn't have made the the lower rating of 321 FPS.

As you see in my "dressed" photos it was clocking in at 70#, 29 DL, 351 grains 305FPS. As I said still plenty fast, just pointing out that it is on the slow side for the rating.

I have to say it really does in the aspect of shock, recoil, vibration and noise. There is as close to no shock, noise, vibration etc.... as I believe you can get on a bow that produces this kind of power. It hands down takes my Allegiance and Tribute in each of those aspects.

I cannot speak forincreased accuracy from thedeflex / center pivot design as I haven't had near enough time and shots with the bow yet.

Around 50 shots so far. Enough to appreciate how well this bow shoots and feels at, during and after the shot, but not enough to know it in and out yet. Still working on getting those strings shot in [8D]

Just shot the Guardian today and put in the order for the Hardwoods Gray edition. Can't wait!

Buckeye, do you happen to have the measurement for the STS? I want to get one and if the measurement is already known, I might start ordering separate pieces before the bow arrives.

The STS is adjustable. Just bolt it to the rear stabilizer hole and slide the STS back until it is nearly touching the string. Then tighten down the set screw.

That's all there is to it.

But it's UGLY.[8D]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder my friend.

Im jealous.

Congrats.
