Re: 405, 380, micro

I've had my 405 for 2 years and must have close to a 1000 shots.
Never had an issue. Many many hours cocked in both warm and frigid temperatures while hunting.

Re: cabelas making me happy

Cabelas customer service is top notch. I recently had the same thing happen last year after spending close to $2000. 2 days later I received a coupon for 10% off. They refunded me $200. Another thing cabelas did for our family was also real nice. About 10 years ago my father in law (an avid outdoors...

Re: Need your help guys

I shot a nice 5 pointer just last week. The next day a monster 10 showed up and was easily mine. I was a little disappointed but I hunt with this in mind.....

2nd successful year!

Well last week my matrix 405 took its second career buck and first doe. I couldn't be happier. I even found my arrow about 20 yards away from where it went through my buck stuck 2" into a pine tree. That's where things get a little interesting. The next day I noticed while sitting in my blind a...

Re: Air Break ?

One of my rubber pads just fell off too. On my 405. Bad glue joint I guess. They we're not on to long either. Maybe 20 shots. Excalibur replaced the pad and gave me a second one and gave me all 4 smaller Allen screws under warranty. I don't think I am putting them back on though. Really not enough o...

First time using warranty

My first time dealing with Excalibur for a warranty issue was an absolute pleasure. One of my rubber pads on my new set of air brakes fell off. I guess a bad glue joint. A new one is on the way along with a bunch of new Allen head screws that I stripped out. I'm just glad I saw it missing before I p...

Filson stuff is very expensive but the quality is outstanding. Check eBay and you'll see Filson jackets th...

Re: Blood Trail

Last year was my first year hunting with arrows and I had the same concerns about blood trails. Using diablos and the bolt cutters my first deers blood trail started within a couple of feet of impact. And ran only 20 yards, if that before dropping. I had a great shot hitting the heart. The second de...

Re: M405 Shooters

I love my 405. It is also worth mentioning it is my first crossbow. I had to have fired it at least 500 times since purchasing it this past summer. I had to tighten the string many times. The string needs replacing now. The serving is still ok but the string is real thin and it kinked up when I remo...
