Re: Scope recommendations for 335
^^^good advice given there. Your bow is too slow and a bit undersized for an XBR and even with an HHA, (which BTW you shouldn’t dismiss out of hand because paired with a good optic, for long range they are clearly the best). Now with a faster bow, (mind you no recurves approach the needed speed), an...

Re: new matrix G340
This maybe what I am looking for . Does Anyone in the US have them ? This may take the place of my Matrix 330 as I just found out I have Cancer in the left shoulder I shoot left handed and use a stand and now putting the 330 against it is not good . But I can do the same thing with the GRZ2 and hav...

Re: What’s the maximum draw weight you would consider?
I don’t think they have reached the pinnacle of recurve limb and Flemish string design...I think, someday, they may be able to manufacture limbs to be narrower and still produce speeds that are faster. To answer your question, I don’t think it’s draw weight that is a limiting factor for most, it’s d...

Re: Red Label Vixen
Here’s how my mind works...Now with that mainframe in all black you need drill yourself an oblong hole for a Matrix riser or a single hole for a Bulldog riser and limb set and you’ve got yourself a beautiful Matrix that would shoot above 380. Obviously you’d need to update the trigger but wow you’d...

Re: pros and cons of shooting longer arrows
At extended ranges, longer arrows are more accurate IMHO. The arrow sticking out past the stirrup is a non-factor for vertical bows, so it shouldn’t be a huge problem. I cut mine to sit just inside the stirrup when a broad head and illuminated nock are installed.

Re: Leupold Mark AR MOD 1 1.5-4x20mm P5 Matte FireDot SPR
I knew you’d like this scope. I started using one 5 years ago on my Matrix 380 and my reviews were similarly complimentary. The VXR Patrol I currently use on my Scorpyd is heavier by a few ounces, and the optics are only marginally better. It sports the same special purpose reticle and I love it jus...

Re: Custom Excaliburs
I started with a Matrix 380 and a Vixen. This is what became of it. A series of trades, parting out of old bows and about 4 years later this version is what I came up with. The only remaining original part from the 380 is the scope rail. The only remaining part of the Vixen is the mainframe. It is a...

Re: Strata Assassin
To each his own, but I’m not paying for an integrated crank system if I don’t need it. Now if there was a Micro 380 or 400, I could see the need for a crank but that model doesn’t exist and probably won’t for quite some time the way I see it. If they could do away with the bulk on the Assassin, I’d ...

Re: BOOFEST 30, 60, AND 100 RESULTS AND PICS
Flightattendant isnt lying about the wind. It swayed the bow and the shooter more than it affected the arrow in flight. We had at least 50km/h gusts but it was a steady crosswind all day. From the bench, at 100y it only affected my windage by an inch. I would’ve thought it would’ve had a greater imp...

Re: To All My Boofest Friends
I second Janesy’s sentiments - wasn’t the same without you Paul! Don and Karin are such gracious hosts. What a day I had, and for such a worthy cause. Thanks to everyone that pitches in to make an event like this happen.

Re: Gaston's Crossbow Arrow Quiver
Ingenious design, thanks for sharing these Gaston! The orange accents are a nice touch reminds me of something I wish I’d never seen.
