Re: matrix 380 with factory 19" arrows

I thought so!!!!............the average guy is happy hitting a baseball at 30 yrds....Just like competition compounds!, you really have to work the crossbow over ,to bring it up to its maximum shooting ability. The better scope would be a better choice to adjust P.O.I, an accuracy of the weapon over...

matrix 380 queston

season end crossbow put away???

I have just bought my first crossbow, the matrix 380. When my archery season is over for me, I was wondering if removing the string is what should be done to remove all limb stress, or put the string changer on ,an leave it slightly cocked in the wrist notch, greatly reducing the stress. What is the...

good friends/good help

Hello, thanks for the welcome into this new sport. I also live in northeastern pa an it is thick to be sure. I cannot believe that the small two inch diablo arrows will stabilize the bolt cutter in flight like a dart without fishtailing downrange to the target. I was told that if that's what was sol...
