Another thing to consider is that Bowtechs come with either a smooth mod or fast mod. Which were you shooting cause the fast mod may have felt a little different if you weren't used to it? Also, if you don't like the draw on the Guardian/General types, consider trying an Allegiance. I LOVE mine. I actually prefer it over the newer style design the Guardian uses. The Guardian (and others) are very smooth at release but it just doesn't feel right to me even though a lot of people absolutely love it. Ultra quiet too.
