like is says I been playing with the 380 today.
I cant find anything to fix on it
it came with a stock EL string and since fightattendent100 was kind enough to send me a miller Flemish I decided to try it out.
right away I can say the Flemish is quieter. not sure about speed but ill be Chrono ing soon . I can say its fast man!!
I realy like the compact design of this bow but im going to have to work on my form some. im hitting pretty good offhand but not where I need to be..no fault of the bow. all my previous bows were the long limb/traditionale stock type so the style is a little different for me. my problem is being able to hold still on the target. what im doing is shooting 30 yards off hand at quarter size pieces of tape. im hitting them maybe 80 percent of the time so that's not to bad.
one thing for sure after a 30 or so shots im feeling it.

What arras are you shooting?
I have some firebolts right now im using..with the NAP quick fletch twisters /150 grtip. 418gr overall
I have some GT lazer 2 shafts . ill be making a set of those up soon with blazer vanes.i think they will be around 297 without a tip.
You may not see a marked improvement with the Lazer IIs but it's worth a try. Fire Bolts were meant for hunting not target shooting, but then you know that. I think that the arras are your present limiting factor, it's not like you don't know how to shoot.

yep and they are hitting with authority
the firebolts using a rest they are dead on.
Don your right they aren't target quality for sure but that's ok im not either
what eles I can say is ..im out of shape

Boo, He's hitting a quarter 80% of the time at 30 yrds OFFHAND! Those doggy ol' arras arent limiting him too much! Man thats great shooting! Sign him up on my team.

I cut off the plastic tube on the destringer and served it today.
that really make it work nice..
and I reserved the EL string so it ready as a backup
oh and I do love them sweet nothings
after shooting for a while im thinking that 405 is gonna be a beast or should I say "Mega Beast"

I just purchased a new Matrix 380 have not used it yet. Was wondering on what upgrades are usually done to them. I know I need an extra string , hate not having a spare.
Any help would be appreciated.
