shot the Vectrix, Guradian and Drenalin
Went to 2 different shops today and shot all 3 bows with 2 buddies. We agreed the differences are so minimal its hard to make one overall choice, but we did. Thanks Jefferson Archery and Crosswinds Archery shops, both top notch with customers. I'll make it short and sweet as possible. We decided to not discuss anything while shooting but to take notes, both mental and on paper then compare afterwards.
- The Drenalin was noticeably lighter then the other 2 bows, seemed very well balanced in the hand, felt less bulky, smooth draw, quiet, but had a tiny bit of vibration after the shot,hardly anyhand shock. Does not have adjustable draw lengths, hate that.
- The Vectrix seemed to be the loudest of the 3 but not by much. It also felt a little bulky in comparison to the Drenalin, felt hardly any hand shock or vibration, and has a bigger grip which we all liked. Does not have adjustable draw lengths, hate that.
- The Guardian was very smooth drawing, super smooth shooter and I mean super smooth, super quiet, felt the bulkiest of the 3 however but again was minimal in comparison,has a real small grip which is my only real complaint.Has adjustable draw length,LOVE that, brilliant decision. The Guardianwas our overall favorite after shooting several dozen arrows each from a pure shooting, designand performance perspective.
Looks like I will be buying a Bowtech to add to the collection, listed price was $759.All of usreally liked all the bows in their own way and was a really hard decision honestly and think they are all incredible bows.

RE: shot the Vectrix, Guradian and Drenalin
Thanks for the review I wanted to test all those bows but the only pro shop around my house won't let you test bows. I definately want to buy a new bow and am seriously thinking about the bowtech Gaurdian or Commander.
