I've got a 355 . . . shooting 18" Executioners I got from Jerry at South Shore Archery.

Is replacing the trigger a simple task (installing a Trigger Tech)? Any special tools, equipment or skill required?

If not for two Senators it should have been this year maybe if we are lucky it will be. Hummer I am sure that Moulton would be for it. Well you'd think so, but he is one of the two Senators . . . time will tell I guess. We could still get it approved for late season this year . . . maybe Terry can ...

Fortunately Terry Moulton is my senator, so I get to judge his performance at the polling booth next election day.

I've got the Mark II BV, which has the laminated wood stock that I like the looks of. I really like the accu-trigger and the heavy barrel. It fits me well and shoots good . . . when I can find ammo for it A very nice rifle & good value IMO.

Hey Manz, sounds like I'm a few days behind you in the process. My new 355 is dead on at 20 yds with the Diablo arrows. I'm waiting on a dozen Executioners from Jerry at South Shore Archery . . . they'll have 110 gr inserts and 125 gr field points. Then I'm going to my local archery shop & shoot...

Thanks to all for input & advice . . . ended up deciding on a 355. The brown truck delivers it tomorrow!

A Matrix 355

I'm a lifelong rifle hunter just taking up x-bowing, and finding there's a lot to learn. Buying arrows, for example: vane placement, fletching types & orientation, insert & nock options . . . and I haven't even gotten to the pointy end yet . . . my head's going to explode :? . Is there somep...

What are the differences, aside from the obvious size/speed? Looks like you don't get REDS suppressors, cheekpiece or Guardian ADF scope mount with a 355. How important are these? Any other features "missing"?

Thanks Xbow Novice! I'm in Eau Claire, so Hudson's about half as far as Rogers. I'll be checking A-1 out.

Yeah, I tried that - called Fleet Farm but they said they don't carry 'em.
