String breakage?
Has anyone had their (Excal) crossbow string break without warning? A friend had his let go today. The serving was in good shape (no sign of abrasion or cutting) and just “let go” when he shot it. I’ve never seen heard of this before, but I’m not exactly surrounded by crossbow shooters where I am. J...

Re: Best hours for bear hunting ?
Please also indicate if you are shooting over bait. Some of us aren’t allowed to bait bears, so am curious what impact that has.

Re: ANYBODY ON THE RIGHT COAST OF US EXPERIENCING CWD?
CWD is here in Virginia, in multiple counties that border WVA. I sat in on a CWD briefing earlier in the week put on by the Virginia DWR. According to them, CWD has also been detected in PA and Maryland. Of note is that deer can carry (and transmit) CWD for 18-24 months before showing symptoms of th...

Re: Who Misses The Old Bows
My Matrix 330 and 380 are my NEW bows!!
When I saw the subject line, I thought I was going to read about people missing their old ExoMags, and Phoenix “wide” bows!! As much as I liked my E-Mag, I do like Matrix bows better. There’s no cocking a Matrix without a cocking rope however!!!

Re: A successful Turkey hunt
I’m glad someone is having a good season!
Not a lot of gobbling going on in my part of Virginia!

Re: The little blasturds are out in full force
I pulled one off over a month ago after a day of coyote hunting. I didn’t worry about them when I was much younger, but after having Lyme disease 2X, and reading about the new tick borne diseases . . . Bad, bad juju.

Re: Best place to buy Matrix 380 parts
FYI, replacing an entire front end (riser and limbs) will require you to rezero your bow as well. I’ve removed and then replaced the (same) riser several times on different Excaliburs with no zero change, but in my experience a different riser will shoot to a different Point of Impact.

Re: 2018 ATA Show
I would find a “walking deer” aiming point at each range MUCH more useful than a 10 or 20 MPH offset personally.

Re: excal crossbows, new and old
I can't talk to who is operating things, but I for one like the "new" bows. I had an ExoMag for ten or so years, and bought a "Micro 335" on a whim. The difference in width was significant, and the stock fits me much better than my old E-Mag. Before all was said and done, a Matri...

There is a lot to be said for being able to use the same strings, arrows, etc.

I think the 330 is under-appreciated.
