Re: goodbye Exomax 225, hello Matrix 380!

I will probably trade my 2010 Ibex, which I thought I would never sell, for a new Matrix 355 next year. The extra speed and narrower width are 2 features that interest me the most. Too late in the year to do it now, but wish I would've done it in August, I also want to see what new products Excal in...

Re: Swacker Broadheads

I shot an 8 point with a Swacker that made the same hard right and exited in the armpit too. Weird

Those heads are a joke IMO

Re: Swacker Broadheads

I was 7 for 7 on deer using slick tricks out of my Ibex bow and decided to try Swackers because of all the positive things said about them on this site. Although they do fly straight and have repeatable accuracy I wasn't impressed with the penetration and lost a nice buck in Ohio last year because o...

Re: Most accurate Excalibur?

Re: Mechanical or Fixed Broadhead

I won't use anything but fixed. Slick Tricks have never let me down and fly good out of my Ibex

Re: Upgrading Optics

I installed a Burris Fast Fire II on my Ibex. Dropped a ton of weight off the bow.

Re: red dot- scope or sight??

I am going to try a Burris Fastfire II scope next year. Small, lightweight (2 oz) and 4 MOA dot. I think if I dial it in for 25 yards, I will be good to go for all the ranges that I shoot.

Im using a Lumizone now.

good luck
