Shooting high and windage off at distance....

So I got out and shot the Matrix 380 today, its dead on at 20 yards...but as you go out to 30, 40, and 50 yards it increasingly shoots higher and farther to the right. Impact at 50 yards is 4" high and 2" right. When I mounted the scope I used a level to level the reticle with the limbs, I...

Re: Got my accesories today...

Tonights Matrix 380 tinkerings and question on brace height

Ok, my first tinkerings were to remove the riser and clean all the rail lube off the rails, then a few good coats of silicone was applied to the rails. The center serving was waxed with the ExWax, string waxed with string wax. Brace height is holding at 5/8" exactly on the scribed lines on the ...

Al...
