Re: Axiom/Ibex or 330 ?

It was mentioned....do you have a 200lb limit in your state? If so the 330 is out. I have an Ibex smf and like it but its not my main bow. I have a matrix 380 that will do most of my hunting this fall. I like the old school "bong" when it goes off just to mix things up a little but if I we...

Re: moon nocks in a Matrix

There is no benefit to it....if you have a bow designed to shoot a flat nock that design can't be improved on IMO. Stick with flats.

Re: Broken Limb on Matrix 330

Sent the limb section to an authorized repair facility in PA. Thankfully the breakage happened at an archery range. Couldnt find the bolt with rage broadhead. I hope its not lodge in somebody's pet. This is not supposed to happen with an excalibur. Hopefully ill get it back befor urban-archery seas...

Re: Break from loading manual Matrix 380

You have to be careful in choosing a rope cocker....contrary to popular belief they are not all the same. I only use Excalibur brand. I know Excalibur doesn't make them but they are as good as you can get. Used them on a variety of bows not just recurves.

Re: 26" Matrix

I don't think they are at the limit. I think we will see 26" or even less maybe. There are narrower bows out there than the matrix line and if they can do it I'm sure Excal can. barnett has the recruit short limb recurve but its basically low power.i seen middleton has 28 inch limbs but also a...

Re: Matrix 310 comparision

Nope :-) Phoenix is a good bit harder to cock than the 310. Its more like the vixen 11....could even be a touch easier but I'd have to have my old one back and do a side by side comparison. I think if someone can't cock the 310 there is probably not a crossbow out there they can without a crank.

Re: 310 uses longer reds?

What kind of drop,say at 30yrds are you seeing on the 310 vs the 330? Still on the fence on which way to go. Ok...got around to comparing the 330 and 310 on arrow drop. 310 shooting factory string and GT2 arrow at 286fps, 330 with a boo string, GT2 arrow at 319fps and here are the results. Both bow...

Re: 310 uses longer reds?

Yes thats total arrow weight. I don't think these bows are going to be doing 310fps. I test shot my 330 over the weekend through the same chrono and with the same arrow and boo string it did 319fps so I know the chrono is right. Its very easy to cock and fun to shoot. Its not a bow you want to buy f...
