Reflex and deflex are terms used to explain the geometry of a riser. The riser on the Guardian is a deflex riser made from forged and fully machined 6061T6 aluminum. Riser: The camo risers are finished using a hydrographic film dipping process.

The appearance of the new Guardian takes some getting used to for those who resist change, but once you shoot one you quickly realize that this new design works. I will attempt to validate this statement as I put the Guardian to the test.

In this field evaluation, we will take a close look at the Bowtech “Guardian”, a bow that Bowtech claims is intended to “provide the ultimate bowhunting experience combining the values of Center Pivot and CenterTrac binary systems that provide superior comfort and performance”.

The introduction of their revolutionary new Center Pivot riser, which supports the split limbs at their center causing them to flex and pivot differently from other bows, keeps Bowtech on the cutting edge of design and technology in the archery world. Bowtech has made their mark on the archery industry over the past few years with bows that are not only fast but also quiet and virtually shock free.
