Since becoming a Bowtech dealer a few weeks ago I finally received mine about a week and a half ago and I can honestly say that this is by far the quietest, most shock and vibration free bowI have ever shot bar none.

IMHO it is the bow for 2007.
Well said bigbulls. I can't be happier with mine. I shot with a PSE rep. on Saturday and he was more than a little peeved when I asked him why the only test that ranks the PSE X-Farce above the Guardian is the one PSE put out. He didn't have an answer, and I shot my bow alongside a bunch of PSE bows, and there was no comparion in noise, shock, vibration. It was great!

Actually, the new outdoor life bow review had the PSE x-force ranked above the guardian. Although, I do shoot a guardian as well.

another great thing about the guardian is the center pivot.with this you don't even need a bow press.I'm only ten but I would love to get my hands on a guardian.

I also shot a Guardian for the first time last Friday.
Sweet rig!
A little kick out on the bottom cam.
Other than that, it's pure bliss.
No vibration.
Very quiet.
Plus, I love the looks of the bow.

Now, if I can just sell one more of my bows.......

I have been shooting a BowTech Allegiance for the past two years and bought a new Guardian about 4 months ago. It is in my opinion the most shockfree bow I have ever shot. It is also extremely quiet and very fast. I am shooting a 328 grain arrow at 64 pounds witha 27 inch draw length and getting 284 fps. Anything over 280 at my draw length is cooking. There is a small issue with the inside upper cable being visible in the upper right portion of my sight picture. I talked with BowTech and they admitted that it is a slight problem. I did switch cable slides and have it moved almost out of the picture. I would say that after a few shots you don't really notice it. Great Bow!!

I wouldnt put much faith in what outdoor life says about it. That is a terrible magazine in my opinion.

I have heard of very few people who shot one and didnt like it even on all the forums. Most people compliment them on smoothness and quietness even if they shoot another brand.
