Weird accuracy

[Dand]

Bought matrix 380 a few months ago. Was sighted in and shooting great. Use diablo bolts with 125 grain practice heads and 125 grain rage broad heads. We'll shot some practice shoots this past weekend after hunting the morning.....was shooting 5-6 inches high at 30 yards.....adjusted scope....then low. Adjusted scope back to what seemed where I had started. Then noticed some string wear where the string hits the red pad....then noticed the red pads were split and string was stuck in the pad.....rotated the pad so the string would not go into pad. So I am assuming I will have to adjust brace height to keep string from slamming into pad. Do you think this could be causing my erratic accuracy.....or do you think it may be the scope?????? I checked all bolts mount screws....all seem tight. Could be my shooting also I guess but seemed like I was consistent when shooting. Any thought would be appreciated!!!!!

When in doubt use a bench or other solid rest.
Where it hits is where it hits.

Not knowledgeable enough to answer the question about the silencers.

it could be your arrows....
use the same arrow, with the same vein pointing downward so there is no variation in your shots...
then use a steady bench rest.
if there is still discrepancies in accuracy, then try in with another arrow.
if you keep getting misaligned shots, then its your scope.

you have checked all your bolts and your tiller right?

ps, keep your string between 4mm and 2mm away from the pads for better pad life.

No experience with the string stops, but that sounds like a likely problem with the brace height too low.
Loose bolts are another possibility, and I've had a few scopes fail and cause shifts in POI over the years.

If it were mine I'd:
1. - adjust the brace height to provide good clearance from the stops.
2. - check all fasteners (especially the scope base & rings).
3. - try another scope if 1&2 don't cure the problem.
4. - if all the above fail send it back to Excalibur to be evaluated.

You might also check your stock screws. My Vortex started misbehaving suddenly and I found the forend screw had worked loose. Good luck.

Dand im with wabi on this on..for sure...adjust that brace so that the string is off those rubbers..let us know how it works out

Put a couple twist in the string 3 twist to start.Then shhot to see if your brace has moved.If it has ,your string is not stretched properly yet.How many shot's has the bow shot?
It took 30 shot's for my string to settle in where it's at.With a flemish string .

My 380 has a sweet spot at 2.5 string widths off the REDS. I marked the riser once I found it. If the string settles more over time, my poi is off. Are you shooting freehand or off a rest?

[Limbs and Sticks]

If you take the stopper system off give yourself at least 1'' brace height, measure up from where the riser meets the rail, the brace height was already to low to tear the bumpers up any way.

Thanks for all the responses!!!!! How do you remove the reds???? Does the metal that attaches to the front just screw out???? New to bows and crossbow....what is tiller????? When I twist the string can you just twist one side or twist both ends the same amount of times????

I was shooting sitting and resting my bow on a bipod. Dand
