Re: String Silencers or limb savers

Brake pads(not air brakes) and bumpers both tame the vibration of string and limbs when shooting thus less noise with no loss of speed.

Re: Air brakes vs. Db killers

I found that the air brakes were just added weight to my bows. What did work was the REDS and brake pads on the limbs.

String bumper length

So for awhile now I have kept my brace height consistent using my string bumpers as a guide. The question is the bumpers are off a Matrix 310 and I'm using them on a Matrix 355 , and I just read on another forum that the 310 bumpers are longer than others. If this is true am I winding my string up w...

Re: Trouble makers at it again!

Awhile back, for three years in a row I had an idiot sit on a log within sight of my treestand on opening day of the gun season. If I can see him he can see me as he sits on my private property. I never said anything because a deer could show up at any time and I am not going to raise hell and ruin ...

Re: What's next??

How about a nice((laminated) wood stock so the bows have a more rifle like appearance and feel . I do not like the Star Wars or Tactical look in my hunting gear. And offer a choice of rail and hardware colors. I actually like the current gray but black , brown , green, metallic colors would be nice ...

Re: Micro 315

Check for any loose bolts or screws on the bow and scope mount. That might be the problem.

Re: Your favorite.

That is a hard question. At one time I had 6 bows (4 Excals.) but I decided to simp!ify my life with less stuff so down to 2 now. I thought of going to just one but between my Micro 335 and my Matrix 355 I can not decide.

Re: "Brake pads"

I have used them on every bow I've owned and they do soften the shot. You might have to use some extra glue to insure they stay put.

Re: Micro 335 Limb Tip Question

Having the tips not symmetrical in placement would bug the crap out of me. I would contact customer service. You paid good money for the best bow so let them make it so.

Re: Crossbow vs.Compound Bow.

I enjoy the rifle-like accuracy and the economy of reusable projectiles that crossbows give me. Àrchery of some variety has always been my favorite shooting sport since 1980 when I bought my first bow.

Re: Powerball win !!!

I would become the new owner of my favorite crossbow company and make nice wood stocks a free option on every model. I would start my own canoe company and also own a large chunk of the Adirondack Mountains so I have room to roam.
