Buckslayer Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Down payment paid yesterday on an 07 Bowtech Guardian 60# in the Realtree HD Green special option camo!!! I'm so excited, and will be putting my 2003 Ex VFT on eBay tonight. The wait, though, is somewhere around 2 months for the Guardian. Basically I'll have all my accessories ready and the bow paid off before I get it. Shot it a dozen times and knew it was my next "baby"... Hopefully I'll be set up and ready to go before Spring Gobbler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: 25% Congrats! Seems that in the beginning people were skeptical about the Gaurdian and now I'm hearing more people are getting and liking the Guardian. Goes to show you can't judge a book (or bow) by it's cover.

Buckslayer Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: 25% Lots of folks are still skeptical, but after shooting it I felt great about it. Hefty price tag but selling my old bow will cut my remaining balance in half... or better. I personally like the looks of the bow, but I know many folks do not. Saw the first pics of one in HD green this past week and it looks real sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutchies Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: 25% I want one bad but I am gonna wait til the 2nd year production. They are the best shooting bow I have ever held in my hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell how certain things hold up on it such as the very thin split limbs But I know BT has put it through the paces in R&D although maybe not quite as long as some other bows are in R&D. I'm a loyal Bowtech shooter so basically I am just taking the chance right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: 25% Looks funny (of course, I'm a Mathews man... LOL) But if your happy with the way it feels and shoots, that's all that counts. Congrats on the new bow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckslayer Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: 25% Buckee Thank you for not bursting my bubble! Mathews makes a great great bow. Its all in what you like, right? They all kill deer the same amount of dead. A lot of guys at the plant I work at are malicious when it comes to their brands... I don't take it to heart though, when they call me a SlowTech shooter. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCH Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: 25% The Guardian's looks are starting to grow on me. My first reaction was "Dang that's ugly." But now I'm like, "She don't look so bad." Congratulations on the purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckslayer Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: 25% Honestly I think you need to see and feel the bow in person before you judge it. I feel as though the 2 dimensional photos cannot even come close to depicting the experience of holding it and seeing it in 3D. Like you MCH, I can think of three guys that changed their minds from the website picture when they saw it in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: 25% Congrats!! There is alot of talk about them around here since a local bow shop started carrying them.

I thought Dang what were they thinking when they put it out. Let them call it slowtech all day long...........cause the IBO speed on that bad boy is 321-329 which is smokin.......... That would put my hunting setup shooting around 280 with a 380 grain arrow and 28 inch draw set at 65lbs. Right now I am around 265 or below.

Guest Buck Magnet 007 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: 25% Hey Klunk, congrats again buddy, I can't wait to see you shooting that bad boy in the yard this year, maybe you will be able to keep up with my Old Glory now Who knows though, I am thinking that maybe, just maybe, I will have a Guardian out there as well. I'll call you later tonight and "discuss" this with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
