I dont want to stir up anything, maybe you guys can correct or confirm the rumor....but.. wasnt the Drenaline having problems with the limbs twisting?

I have heard this from 2-3 people now.

Like I said, I dont want to cause a big deal.
Funny, I heard the same thing about the Guardian. Seriously, both bows had some limb twist/cam lean issues in early releases that seem to have been straightened out now.

I shot both and I went with the Drenalin. For me the draw was the deciding factor. The Guardian is tough to beat when it comes to the shot, but it doesn't do me much good if it's hard on my shoulders.

Do as the others said and shoot them both, along with some others and buy the one that feels best.

You said you shot them both and still can't decide...i would think about what YOU want in a bow. Speed, draw, noise, hand shock, etc.

Weigh those options and then make a decision! Good luck!

I bought the Drenalin but I don't think that you can go wrong with either of them.

Your choice, make the decision that fits YOU, not our opinions. I personally favor the Mathews.

BOWTECH! Okay now hear me out...Yes I do shoot a Bowtech but that's just because what I liked, I am open to any brands and makes of bows...I have shot both an for me the Bowtech seemed to have a lot less vibration after the shot and was much quieter...Thats just me though...I've talked to a lot of people in the pro shop back home and they all seem to like the Bowtech....BUT alot of it is personal preference....Shoot them both and see what you think fits you best and what you like...Thats just my advice

Alleigence.

Dren is nice, but the 07 Allegience is a sweet set up. I personally did not care for the Guardian. Granted, I have only shot one and it was an inch too short...but it was loud and had more shock than it should have. Draw was nice, speed was lacking...but there again...it was a 28" draw.
