Guardian Shooters...Is it worth it?
 
For all you Guardian shooters out there, I was wondering if it was worth the money? My birthday is just around the corner and i'm thinking really hard about making the plunge for a new bow. I have already shot it and have fallen in love, but being a college student this is a lot of money so i want to make the right choice. Have any of you guys had problems? If none tell me why i should get one.

I am very picky and stubborn when it comes to change but once I did I was very happy. I've been shooting the Guardian since December and Ifeelit's the best bow currently on the market.

Maybe being a college student and all, if you get good grades DAD could buy it for you. Just a thought.

I do not have a Guardian but I do have a Commander. Considering the designs are very similar I felt somewhat compelled to reply. The bows are everything they are touted to be. Noise levels are probably the lowest of any recently modern compound bow I have ever shot and the accuracy level is superb. Oh, and speed is not too shabby either. ;)

I've got a Guardian and lie Pa said it's everyhing that it is advertised. It's the most shock free and quiet bow I've ever seen. I don't know what else to say except YES it's worth it.

Absolutely, get the bow! First off, the Guardian is bad-ass! Second, you want it. Need I say more? Dont know about you, but everything I do revolves around archery hunting. Get the bow! You will always wish you did, if you dont.

If you get this bow you may be compelled to do more shooting and less school work:D:eek:. I finally got my bow after a 3 month wait, it was well worth the money and well worth the wait.

The guardiean is a very smoothe shooting good feeling bow, my 2 concerns at this point is the amount of tension the cable slide puts on the cables and the draw curve. The cable problem for me has been solved by keeping plenty of wax on the string (wax after every 80 shots). The draw curve isn't too bad, I can definetly live with it. The reason I bring up the draw curve is b/c right before the break over point it feels more like 80lbs not 70. My father tried to shoot it and couldn't even get it drawn back. He is used to shooting 70# which is what my bow is sset-up for and he couldn't get it to break over. Another minor thing is the string leeches, mine broke off after about 300 shots, thats ok though b/c the bow is just as quiet as it was before they came off.

This bow is very quiet, shock free, viberation free, and pretty fast. You can look at my signature and see the speed and arrow weight. If there is any questions you can PM me. GET THE BOW

I think anything is "worth it" if you are going to get use out of it. Bow prices are quickly getting to the point though that many people are going to be questioning this very topic.........especially when so many bows exist today for half that price that will still smoke a deer no problem.

RE: Guardian Shooters...Is it worth it?
 
depends on your money situation... if you are rich why not? my roommate got one and untill he put all the acc. on it the price was around $1100... I have a pearson z-34 and there isnt that much of a difference between the bows for a $400 difference.. I'm actually shooting 15fps faster than him, but i have a 31inch draw compared to his 28 inch draw.. its all up to u and your wallet. and you know by next year all these bows will be outdated anyways.

lol thats funny, and after reading it I don't know what to tell you. lolI remeber buying my first bow brand newwhen I was a sophmore inhigh school and my dad was not happy at all.My bow I was shooting then was used when I bought it but it still worked. I can remember my dad saying about what your saying to your son. That new bow killed my first bull elk, and several others in additon to a few deer. So when I wanted to buy another bow 6 years later, I think my dad was flat out pissed about it. Even today he doesn't understand, when I have new bow. I am 32 years old and I work part time in a bow shop and I have several new bows. But he is not a bowhunter so he doesn't understand. Oh well we just have to agree to disagree.

Well as of right now I like my Vectrix better. I have shot it alot more than I have the Guardian and it just fits and is more comfortable right now. It is also a bit smoother on the draw at the same weight. I like the Guardian and agree that it is everything and more than advertised. It's super quiet, very accurate and dead on the shot. When 3-D gets rolling I'll be shooting it more and I know after I get more used to the differences in the bows I'll be calling that one my favorite.
