2007 bowtech guardian owners manual

If the throat of the grip is in front of the pivot point line it is considered deflex, if it is behind the pivot point line it is considered reflex. Reflexed risers tend to be more susceptible to hand torque. The new Bowtech Center Pivot design features a conventional riser that lashes the pockets up at the ends of the riser. The result is that the limb tips move less mass weight, less limb movement, and improved efficiency from a long stable riser that balances well for its overall length, this equates to less hand torque during the shot.

With the original Binary Cam system, both harnesses are anchored on the opposite cam so the system cannot go out of balance? For , Bowtech redesigned the Binary Cam so that the harnesses attach to the axle on both sides of the string groove. The CenterTrac Binary Cam has the same advantages as the original Binary Cam, but this added feature also eliminates cam lean and balances the force on the tips of the limbs improving torque during the shot. The result is increased efficiency and truer arrow flight.

Rather than a traditional limb pocket, the Guardian uses an axle tie that ties the limb together, but does not really act as a pocket for the limb since the Center Pivot arm is where the limb begins to bend when drawing the bow. The axle ties are located at the front of the riser where the poundage is adjusted. The limb rocker is located in the center of the limb where the Center Pivot technology is utilized. This rocker is machined from T6 aluminum and allows the limb to pivot.

The Bowtech Guardian is manufactured for silent, vibration-free shooting. It is the primarily the design of this bow and its components that makes it a quiet bow. I found no reason to add extra silencing components to this bow. My evaluation began with a thorough visual examination of the Bowtech Guardian for any workmanship issues or defects. The bow was visually flawless with one minor exception; the camo had been rubbed off on two of the corners of the lower limb.

The cams moved freely when pressure was removed from the strings and cables. All parts fit together perfectly, nothing was loose, and the bow was mechanically sound. I would expect this type of quality workmanship from Bowtech. The only items added to the bow for testing were a NAP QuikTune Arrowrest , and I removed the brass knock that came installed on the string and replaced it with a D-loop.

I chose grain Carbon Express Maxima arrows for my evaluation. The bow was paper tuned and ready to shoot. Comfort of shooting bow — when shooting the Guardian, it became clear to me that Bowtech has developed a product that really backs up their claim of a quiet shot with superior comfort.

Starting with the grip design, the Guardian was very comfortable to grip using my straight-wristed style of gripping a bow. The bow grips rested well in my hand. The addition of the new modular grip system that is comprised of two extremely thin side plates makes this bow extremely comfortable to hold for longer periods of time, in addition to aiding those who tend to torque their grip during the shot.

I shot sets of 30 arrows each day for a week to evaluate overall comfort, draw cycle, shock, vibration and torque. I also shot a three other bows I had in stock for comparative purposes throughout the evaluation. Starting with overall comfort, I must say that the Guardian is as impressive a compound bow as I have seen in quite a while.

It was a pleasure to shoot this bow from start to finish. I found that the draw cycle was very smooth and consistent throughout the draw? Often bows that generate the kind speed that the Guardian generates will have a difficult draw curve, but not so with the Guardian. The draw cycle is smooth and this bow generates plenty of speed. You should really compare the bow you are evaluating to other bows on the market to really feel the difference.

A visit to the local archery shop should provide ample comparison. After shooting the Guardian for a week, compared with the few bows in my shop plus a trip to the local archery shop, I can tell you that the Guardian really does back up its claim to be superior in comfort and performance. Noise level — the proper method to evaluate noise level would be to use a decibel meter capable of measuring low noise levels.

I repeated this test several times until I was able to average the results. The Guardian was voted the quietest bow that I shot according to each person helping me with this test.

The Bowtech Tribute ran a close second. I really like the fact that proceeds go to Vets and first responders, that's what sold me on that bow in specific over other Bowtech models. The fact that Bowtech is 40 minutes away is a bonus as well. I've owned several Bowtechs over the years, and the Guardian is by far my favorite.

The short axle to axle length is perfect for trees and hunting, and yet it goes to my draw length, 31", which is a game changer. My favorite thing about the Guardian, is what it stands for. Being a combat veteran I applaud you and thank you for standing behind us.

PTSD is a silent killer, and I thank you for shining light on this issue. Bowtechs you nailed it all around with this bow and the thoughts behind it. Thank you!! When I take this bow out I carry it with pride and confidence! Also being a veteran I had no other choice but go with such an amazing company that proudly supports the military and offers discounts!
