Never had a problem with mine either. I absolutely loved the bow. It was just a blast to shoot. I now have a Captain (pretty much the rpl. for the Guardian)and they improved on a Bow that I doubted could be improved on.

Sure guys, I know 5 guys or more who has good guardians. No cam lean, no cable rubbing. This post is not saying there is no good guardians out there whatsoever. I work in design and engineeing and thoughly understand yeild, QAand failure rates. As some on you might also. Shoot, I got a top notch commander.

But my question was, why did they put the pinned limbs on? Just a precautionary measure? Sure you know dan and maybe can comment. Just curious. And the other part was just a little venting.

I did get her tuned in, in about 10 min. With the cable rubbing, I can see I will probably have to change cables little sooner than most. But she is hitting good out to 50 yards.

The reason I got this bow was, I sold all my compounds, except my commander. And I loved the commander draw, quietness, and accuracy. I wanted the same but something the length of my liberty and soemthing that doesn't need a press. So my plan was to have one compound only and rest trad bows. I can't say the guardian is as shooter freiendly or accurate or quiet as the commander. I am shocked that commanders loose resale so quick or didn't sell well.

BC, My guess on the limbs is the pins in the limbswere a precautionary measure, and yes the silver Sucks! Camo or even black anodized would have been much better.

As far as resale on the Commanders it's all supply and demand. The industry has brain washed hunters that they need a super short bow to hunt out of a Tree Stand with:eek:When most would better off with a little longer bow. The length of my 82nd at 36 1/2" was absolutely No issue out of a Blind or a Tree Stand this past Fall.

I shot the bow extremely well, and a lot of that I credit to the longer A to A. I have a Captain in house, but I have an 09 Sentinel as well as 82nd on order.

I like the little bit of extra length;)

Some people might believe that, but I've shot all brands over 40+ years including Mathews for 6 years.

My BowTechs have shot as well or better for me than any Bow I've owned. Their dependability has also been outstanding.

Yeah! I'm on Staff, but that's where I choose to be because I believe in and shot BowTech. I always have and always will shoot the Best Bow for Me.

Thanks Dan. Good info. I even see the 3D guys shooting 32-33" bows. I think the commander was a great bow. I was going to sell mine, but think I am going to keep it. Wife won't be happy.
