Re: Rookie lesson in stirrup foot hold
I had a release for one of my verticals, a four finger number with adjustable tension screw, I punched myself in the mouth twice at 72# draw! It still hurts when I think about it. Sounds like you got a degree from the school of hard knocks too! :lol: :lol: Glad you're OK! That makes me feel better,...

Rookie lesson in stirrup foot hold
Good god! Yup, you really want to ensure that your foot hold on that stirrup is sound and true! Shot this new Xbow close to 100 times now (getting better each time) Now, free hand shots between 25 and 30 yards are a given harvest (which is a HUGE improvement since I've moved off of shooting from the...

Re: Huntin Tree Rats
I hear ya. There are times where I know I am just simply not admitting that I could use some glass in front of my eye. You might find you wish you'd done it years ago. Let me know, maybe I'll follow suite!

Re: Matrix 380
I took the same leap of faith and am so happy I did! I'm not qualified to suggest anything at all yet cause I'm pretty green to this equipment but the feedback on here is awesome so I'll be watching your replies and all the other ones on the board. Really an awesome benefit to this bow. Enjoy in the...

Re: My 380 is a BEAST!!!
It looks like an awesome bow!! It really is. I don't pretend to know very much about these bows in general, but I've seen and shot a few other ones (Parkers, 10 points). They are very nice but the accuracy I have been experiencing in my very rookie stages are breath taking and it's just one of thos...

Re: He beat me like a drum.
Great read! Must've been an awesome thing to experience! Very gratifying when you say screw it and abort the main plan, try something outside the box and it works. That's awesome!

Re: My 380 is a BEAST!!!
Thanks, Mike! She's a hot one for sure. My first E/M 380 Xtra was also clocking 384-385 fps. I only shoot Excalibur factory strings outta my rigs. :wink:[/quote] Wow! I've shot out to 30 with mine but really only dialed it in at 20. I set the speed at 370 for now just assuming 380 was a maximum spee...
