Re: Shot distance for deer hunting

I practice regularly at 50 yds but limit shots at deer to 30 yds with my Matrix 330. Like already mentioned, they can easily move enough at 50 yds to make a good shot into a poor one.

Fixed my 330 this way also, it stripped the 1st time I took it apart.

Re: Cocking 330

Re: Arrow Accuracy

About the same here, I shoot FP's most of the year then switch to BH's about a month before season starts and resight in.

Re: Cutting a new slot in the Matrix scope mount

I've used the Weaver Dual Extended rings (#49061), it gives you about 1/2" more eye relief and would be easier than cutting another slot.

Re: Matrix 330 speed testing

I've only chrono'd my 330 once, was getting 315-317 fps w/ a 400 gr arrow and stock string. I thought was a little high but maybe not.

I have a Bowtech SZ350 also but wanted to try the simplicity of a recurve, the 330 will probably be my favorite once I get the TriggerTech on it.
