Bowtech Guardian 07
 

Any feedback? I've got one on it's way to me as we speak.

I've got an '08 Guardian. Great bow, nice draw, easy to tune, and nice speeds.

what's your setup and extra's on it? just getting an idea of what mends well with this bow

i'm thinkin a 4-6" s-coil limbsaver stabilizer, maybe a trophyridge dropaway along with a g5 or vital gear 5 pin sight.

I owned a commander which was the finest bow I ever had. But I felt I wanted a shorter ATA, so I figured guardian would be just as good just shorter. So I bought it on archery talk and it was night and day difference. Draw cycle sucked compared to the commander. My cables were rubbing at full draw. had to send it back to factory. Got it back and changed out limbs but cam lean was bad. Caused tuning issues. Everything you put thru it showed stiff spined. So I BH tuned it best I could, and lived with it for a season. Sold it. And now got a sentinel. Now I am facing a new set of potential issues with it. I give up with these folks.

I am not saying all guardians have issues by the way. I shot Matt Mickey's when he first got it and it was dead quiet and shot great. Tuned great. Also have shot others. I am just saying I got a bad one. It happenes, but it happened to me.

Its a 60lb pull, 29" draw, with a 7" Octane stabilizer (2 weights on the end), a QAD Ultra HD dropaway rest, and a Sword 3rd Plane sight.

I bought my 07 guardian last year and love it, smooth relatively quick, I dont have it fully set up yet, I robbed stuff of my old bow so I could hunt with it but im going with a QAD dropaway octain stabalizer and HHA sight

I've got an '07 Guardian and love it. Get it tuned and set up for you, you won't need another bow for years.

You will Love the Guardian! It is definitely one of the top models made in the last 3 or 4 years.

I liked my Captain a touch better, but that is taking nothing away from the Guardian.

I absolutly LOVE my 07 Guardian :love: very very smooth shock free good shooting bow :s1: The only trouble I had was the module screws backed out a little and gave me a rattle. I fixed with blue lock tight and had no troubles since.

If I have to do it over again I would have got a commander for that same reason. I have a 08 gurdian, besides the draw its an excellent bow.

An 07 Guardian 80lbs has been my hunting bow for the last 2 years. Its a great shooting bow, very quiet and accurate. I agree the draw cycle could be a little beter- it drops into the valley very fast. But for hunting its awesome - its almost silent if you shoot a whisker biscuit and factory hush kit.
I once got 3 pigs out of one mob with it - they didnt know where the shots were coming from =) gotta love that

I just got a sentinel. Then next day the guy I sold the commander too offered to sell it back. I am tempted. Cams were dead straight at full draw and at rest. Dead quiet. I have seen guardians like that too. Just all bows you buy, especially on the internet, are not equal. IMO, the commander was one of the best bows bowtech put out, when put together properly.

I love my Commander. Haven't sold it yet, and I've shot everything new every year since I bought it. Granted, i'me more limited by draw length, but I could get away with 31 1/2" which seems to be the norm these days. I traded my Old Glory for the Commander, and kinda wish I still had the OG too. Even now, my Commander is still usually the quietest on the range.

thanks for all of the helpful feedback guys. i got a lot of personal reviews and also read up a lot of articles on the 07 guardian and you guys are giving just as amazing feedback as they are. i really have a good feeling about this bow!
