Default Happy Easter to me....Got my Guardian today!

Well, I decided to upgrade my bow and shot all of the new 07 bows excpet the Ross, but i decided to go with the guardian. Man is this thing quiet. I picked it up today and went and sighted it in and within 5 min of shooting i was smokin the bullseye at 20,30, and 40 yrds. This thing is a shooter. I thought i would show you some pics of my new baby. I have a Black gold Radiant sight on it, A spot Hog Whammy rest, a fuse stabalizer, and a meta peep.

Cool dude. You'll love it. I've had mine about 3 weeks now. Lovely thing to shoot. I think your's must be better made than mine. Mine doesn't hit the bullseye everytime.[&:][&:]

LOL. Well I was exagerating a bit, but im getting some good groups, and for the first time shooting it it took some getting used to. I hope only better shooting is to come.

You must be a target shooter. As a hunter only I wouldn't want my draw length that long. I have mine set to put the string on the tip of my nose.

No strictly a hunter that does some 3d shooting for fun. I get told this all the time, but to be honest i just feel more comfortable this way. I have to have the corner of the blazer in the corner of my mouth, and thats the most comfortable anchor point for me. And icant get to much shorter b/c it's set at 25-1/2" right now.

LOL, YUP.... you can't get much shorter. I noticed your fletching in the corner of your mouth. It struck me right off, "Hey, that's his anchor point". Just as long as you don't rip your nose off> LOL

Anyone else notice that in the last pic,, it looks like the arrow is about ready to fall off the string? Be careful!!

Your weight is favoring the back leg. While this may work for you under normal conditions, shooting off the front leg might be better in several ways since you're mainly a hunter. Try it and see if you don't get more string clearance from your chest.

Good luck with your new bow.

Thanks for the tips Len. I will work on my form. Again I was just posing for the picture and mainly wanted to show the bow at full draw. I also know my form is not perfect so it will be something i will work on.
