Default I did it!!!!

I am an all Bowtech guy!!!! 60# 29" Guardian in Mossy Oak Obsession. With my 394 grain 28" A/C/C hunting arrow setup and the bow peaked at 62 pounds, I am shooting 273 fps. I love it. What a shooter. I picked it up yesterday PM and have already shot 200 arrows through it. It has a Trophy Taker pronghorn dropaway, a G5 peep, a Fuse Satori quiver, Doinker stabilizer,and a Black Gold Radiant sight. $749 and I got a free shirt too

Holy Moly! 200 arrows in a day. I think my shoulder would tear apart. Of course that probably has a lot to do with my torn rotator cuff

Is that bike in the background what you traded your HOG in for in order to afford the Guardian?

Yep, that is my new daily rider. After shooting 70#s all of these years, it is a joy to shoot a 60#er. No fatigue, just pure shooting pleasure.

Good looking rig, Don. I just posted on the other (2008 bows) thread that I'll probably pull the trigger, and buy one just like this when the '09's come out.

Congrats!

You are infinitely wise Don! I love my Commander and find myself shooting/wanting to shoot more because of it. Bowtech has hit a homerun with these bows and I think the critics will begin to die off shortly. Enjoy your new rig. The Fuse quiver looks hot on there too. I was looking at the Bowtech quivers for mine, but the Fuse just may have to be the one I get. I wish Bowtech would make a more stylish one. They all hold arrows, but those Fuse are tough to beat on looks.

I found that bike this spring while out mushroom hunting in a heavily timbered ravine on my wifes'Dads' land. Wife wanted it as a yd decor. I have seen where people are taking these old bikes and displaying on the outside of local restaurants, putting them in their garden with a handlebar mounted basket and planting flowers in them etc.

YooperMike, there is nothing to critisize on these bows except the high price that all of these bow manufacturers are chargingI will not be putting a MeanV CSS or any cat whiskers on this bow as it is already very quiet.I stripped my equipment off of my 70# Vectrix as I traded it in.
