Does Kayla have a donation page for those of us who already have a Matrix AND couldn't afford another one but would like to help out as much as they can? My cousin-in-law has cystic fibrosis and these diseases are just terrible. Her kids spend more time with her at the hospital than they do at home!...

Nice. I think my Nikon Archer Max was like $250 I think at the time the Chuck Adams was close to it in price so I know they are comparable. Good job on the find!

Yeah, I just realized I hadn't posted in a few days. We got rained out of our trip and then I ran HARD into FINALS week. A few more days and it'll all be over, though.

I couldn't really remember. All I know is my Matrix will kill all of them, LOL. But I did look it up. 25-41 deer and antelope 42-65 for elk, hog, blackbear 65+ for the big stuff like grizzly bear, cape buffalo, elephant. Of course, with the right shot, I'm sure you can kill the bigger stuff with les...

Oh, OK, I thought someone said it didnt' come with a scope. The display one I cocked didn't have the scope mounted. Well, then, that's not so bad at all, then.

What is the general consensus on minimum amount of KE required for larger game like, deer, moose, hogs etc...? For deer and hogs I think it's 25-40. Moose I think is 65+ though... 65+ will kill anything, though. And it takes like 10-15 to kill humans. Less if you put it in there right spot. We're f...

I think it just felt the same for me because of my height. I dunno. The last couple of inches of both the 355 and the 380 takes a little OOMPH and it felt the same. I owned my 380 before I even got to cock a 355 because the sports store in Chattanooga finally got in the 355 and they let me try it ou...

:wink: He stated he had and sold the 380 already. He was also looking for tested speeds not assumptions. I posted a link to tested speeds already. Maybe I'll look up the meaning of tested I could be wrong again. :shock: The new shorter bows are easier to cock being short draw. I think both are easi...

I have very little respect for gun haters as I do for most people who hate anything other than evil. The louder they speak their opinion just reaffirms their social mental illness. But they too are the ones we veterans fought for and we defend their right to be stupid. I'm not a gun "hater&quo...

I just sold my Ibex which was flinging at 262 fps with 486gn bolt. It killed 10 deer and 16 hogs. I started with bolts weighing at 400 gn They would blow thru but did not produce great injury. I am now using the Exomax with the 486gn bolts Were I am looking is I could fling a bolt at 350fps with a ...

I keep reading in post people asking how can I get more speed. Now I have a question When hunting moose, bear, elk, deer, hog. Where do we drop the concern for speed and consider kinetic energy? I know I would like a bolt going at 270 - 300 fps with a kinetic energy around 80 - 90 ft pounds, then a...

Which crossbow are you using??

I didn't see the shoulder issue, sorry, but I did mention that a physical/medical probably be the only reason I'd consider one over the other as far as cocking. And yes, I have the 380, but I did cock a 355 and honestly I didn't really feel a difference but I think that's because I get to put so muc...
