Re: Adding a Lumenok

The i.d. of the Diablo is .303". Lumenok models GTC and GTF are .300" in diameter which you could try to shim with a thin strip of paper. You can also try buying the next size up of nock which is .306" and shave or whittle it down to a tight fit. Good luck! Edit... Sorry! Read Diablo ...

Range Finder Mount

I just received my new range finder mount and went to install it on my Tact Zone and it would not fit. Just wanted to point out that the ring that it comes with for mounting on the scope is over 3/4" wide (13/16" to be exact) and it will not fit on a short body scope.

Re: Matrix 380

I am having the same issue. The instructions said to locate the string in between the two lines scribed on the rail but I have no lines on my rail. I will twist until 1/8" off of the bumper. Thanx for the info.

Re: Sportsmans guide warehouse?

I buy from them a lot too. They have very good deals from time to time but, can be slow to ship compared to other vendors. It almost seems like they fill orders from the vendors after you place the order through Sportman's Guide therefore they have to receive the items before they ship them out to y...

Re: Hello from South Texas

Thank you all. I just wanted to say that I received my Matrix 380 Blackout today and I am super impressed! I shot my first bolt from 20 yds and it was dead on but I buried it all the way into a brand new Morrell Yellow Jacket Supreme target... :shock: I then proceeded to stack 4 carpet squares in fr...

Re: How to remove a glued nock from carbon bolt

You don't glue the lighted nocks since you have to pull them out in order to service them. The Lumenoks are actually activated by making contact with the end of the bolt. When the bolt is launched it pushes the nock against the end of the bolt therefore closing the circuit; so to turn it off you hav...

Re: Hello from South Texas

Hello Raymond, Thanks for the information and I hope you are right. As far as where in South Texas, I guess you can pretty much say North Mexico as I live in Mission, TX which is only a few miles from the border. We have lots of pigs, deer, Nilgai and plenty of exotics like Axis, Fallow and sheep. I...
