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 absolutly LOVE my 07 Guardian 
very very smooth shock free good shooting bow 
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.
