Re: to loctite or not to loctite ?

I purchased a 355 last year and was not pleased with the accuracy. As I read posts about using loctite, I started using it on some of the bolts, e.g. the scope rail, and was still not pleased with the accuracy. Then I read about using loctite to keep the trigger assembly solid. I took care of that a...

Re: Gettin' a 355. Couple questions.

I had a dry fire last summer and have the REDS on my 355. As a result of the dry fire one of the limbs was cracked and had both limbs replaced.

Re: Proper Bench Shooting

Thanks for your opinion on Diablos. I sent two back and had two new ones sent to me. The new ones spin pretty good. I never made any arrows before. I would be willing to try. Who would you recommend for arrow making supplies. Also, does anyone sell custom bolts for a Matrix 355?

Proper Bench Shooting

I purchased my Matrix 355 last year and am still trying to improve my shooting. I had many problems with bolts not being tight and had to reinstall them using Loctite. I purchased an arrow spinner and a Lumenok F.A.S.T. squaring tool. Two of my Diablo bolts were not very straight. They are going to ...

Replacement Pads for R.E.D.S.

I have a Matrix 355 with the R.E.D.S. One of the pads is split in the seam and split on the end. The other is in great shape. Why the difference, I don't know. I have searched everywhere trying to find replacement pads. Anyone able to help me? Thanks.

Re: Speed Ring on Tact-Zone

Startling discovery - I was working with my bow today and I handled the scope and noticed that the front of it came up off of the rail by about 1/2 inch. None of the four screws that attaches the rail to the riser were tight. The front ones were very loose. I checked the video from Excalibur and it ...

Re: Speed Ring on Tact-Zone

I am using the Diablo arrows that came with the 355 and using the 150 gr target point. I'll try shooting it using rej's technique and search the forum for other ways of doing it. Thanks to all.

Re: Speed Ring on Tact-Zone

Thanks. I did watch the video. I guess I'll have to find a 50 yard range. I thought by adjusting the speed ring at 30 yards I could get it to shoot dead-on at 30 yards.

Re: Tact-Zone scope

Thanks. I did look at mine and I do have a vertical line. I guess the horizontal line of the L is hidden by the plastic.

Speed Ring on Tact-Zone

Yesterday I shot my 355 and had some trouble getting it shooting in the bullseye. I finally had it shooting in the 1 inch bullseye at 20 yards. When I moved the target out to 30 yards the arrows shot right on horizontally, but shot 2 inches high. I moved the speed ring from 330 to 325, same 2 inches...

Re: Tact-Zone scope

Mine has just an arrow. Maybe I'll just mark it with an L.
