Re: 405 arrives

Checked brace height tonight and I lost about 1/4 inch, this time I set it at 1 inch looks like my scope will deliver tomorrow. Seems they shipped it FEDEX smart post makes no since could put it in the crossbow box and I would had it way sooner.

Re: 380 vs 405 final answer

I just read tonight over on Archery Talk that Wyverns has suspended sales of the Matrix 405 due to reliability issues... I went to Wyverns web site and saw it posted there also.... Hard to believe, as I thought their issues had been pretty well diagnosed as an improper brace height issue as also ap...

Re: 405 arrives

Well got the brace height set at about 3/4 inch and will let it set till this weekend and see how much it moves again. I turned the string about 15 twist before It came of the REDS which one of the REDS looks horrible from the string being compressed on it since it was packaged and sold. Boy the C2 ...

405 arrives

Been out of town till late tonight finally got to open the box looks sweet. One thing I noticed is the string is buried in the REDS. Not sure how well they hold up but tomorrow after work I will assemble and get the brace height squared away and see what they look like after the string gets off them...

Re: 405 Brace Height ?

When you get the 405 put yer string aid on it n twist the string up til its 3/4" above the REDS n choot it, :) [/color] Is that because it will stretch a crazy amount in the beginning ? Also when I am twisting the string can you just twist from one side or do you need to work back and fourth f...

Re: Matrix 405, All set ...

Blah, blah, blah is right. Get some spare limbs for crying out loud! These threads have got so redundant, I will not look at another one. This one included. And by the way, I count on my 405 to do the job the most EVERY time I take it out, not when/if it it breaks. Any time you push the envelope, c...

Re: Matrix 380 & 405.

I was not able to find anywhere where I could order my 405 direct when I was looking. Only links on Excalibur page are for dealers. I would bet if there was a out of control limb issue that the 380 and 405 would be out of the line up. And Excalibur would replace those with other models to keep custo...

Re: 380 vs 405 final answer

398.3g. 18" Zombie, AL insert(26g), plastic yellow flat nock (not much g), 2" Blazers, 170g FOC. Blazers 4 degree offset. Helical wasn't as accurate with field points nor FOCs. When these arrows are gone, I will try the SK200 and SK300 in offset configuration. I think these or at least on...
