Re: Matrix 380 and 355 draw questions.

I am 5' 8"
I liked how the 355 is more compact, lighter too
The numbers are there

More important was the feel of the 355, for me anyway

For hunting elk and moose I use a hornady 350 g jacked flat nose bullet with a stout load of RX 7 Considering the limitations imposed by the recoil and marlin trigger this gun is quite accurate The guide gun with the scope is a light weight package ...

Think I will be upgrading the scope on my new matrix for next hunting season New to crossbows, but so far I see it like this...

Silencers for a matrix 355 a good idea?

So would adding silencers on a matrix 355 be a good idea?

I noticed they come with the matrix 380, but not on my 355
