Re: BOO String for Matrix 380 or 405

The crossbow review is a good read, however it does not address the Matrix line which according to Excalibur has a "New and Improved" string/material. Just wondering the benefits for the Matrix line ? The no stretch and colors are wonderful but actual increased performance would close the ...

BOO String for Matrix 380 or 405

What gains could be expected for the Matrix 380 or 405 with a Boo string ? The life of the string is a given. Speed? Accuracy ? Noise ? :?: :?: :?:

Re: Matrix 405

GAS, yea I had that for years! 4-Wheelers, rifles, shotguns, long bows, recurves, compounds .... the list is endless. Thanks for your encouragement, I am sure I will have many questions as time goes on. One question is which hard case fits the matrix ? E-mailed Excalibur, they provided no real infor...

Re: Matrix 405

It happens every time I order something and have to wait a while for it to come. I start second guessing what should work best and wind up ordering a bunch of STUFF. With all the talk about triggers and scopes, I almost ordered them also. There are so many possible combinations (fixed vs. mechanical...

Re: Matrix 405

Got a dozen extra Diablos, 1/2 dozen XX-75 2219's and a dozen BEE's ordered from Jerry. A sack full of different field points and a small fortune in different broadheads. Hope this get me thru till hunting season. So many possible combinations it's hard to know which way to go.

Re: Matrix 405

Being a member or (X-Member) of the "Wheels, Cables and Exploding Limbs Club", I don't know what to expect moving UP to a recurve. I anticipate a learning curve, just not sure how big a curve it will be ? Any advise ?

Matrix 405

Just got the word, my new 405 made it to the dealer in Indiana around noon today. Should ship to this Mississippi boy this afternoon. Maybe by the middle of next week I can sling a few down range and post some results. He had some photo's of a 330 sitting beside it. Both great looking bows, can't wa...

Re: matrix 355

I got the tombstone, very nice case. I can't tell you how it fits because my new 405 is still in cyber shipping world ! I would like to ask if anyone can recommend a hard case for the Matrix. The ones I looked at, you need a trailer to haul it around on. :!:

Re: Matrix Mega 405

Just found out that Excal 405 did not ship from Excalibur as planned, so my dealer said the earliest I would see it MIGHT me next Wednesday ? Makes for another long week of waiting ! :(
