Not dumb or stupid at all. Unfortunately, the brace height was too low right from the shop you bought it from. Most shops don't seem to know how to correctly adjust/set the brace height on crossbows, and it causes issues. Seems bizarre to me that the pro shops selling these don't get it right, but there you have it.

Re: Picked up my new 380 yesterday
Keep in mind that new strings will also stretch while just sitting on the bow. Mine was pressed up tight against the REDS straight out of the box. I agree though, that should have been adjusted at the shop. Best of luck with the new bow, and don't be shy about asking questions!Ekkie wrote:Not dumb or stupid at all.

Re: Picked up my new 380 yesterday
I tried to call Dan Miller this morning. A recorded message advised that he is on vacation. I called the folks at Excalibur and spoke to a young lady who was very helpful. She too advised me to obtain a stringing aid, and twist up the string to get it off the rubber bumpers. She also advised to rotate the bumpers after every 10-12 shots. I went to the Wyvern Creations website and ordered the stringing aid, a spare string, and some string wax. The young lady at Excalibur advised they had just completed work on a new owners manual that includes the Matrix line of crossbows. She took my address and will send me the new owners manual. She said it has been a year long project to complete the new version.

Dave at Wyverns is pretty awesome also I've ordered several things from him including my wife's 330. Good luck with you're 380 they're pretty sweet remember to keep your thumb and fingers away from the rail when shooting.F250-2 wrote:Talk about great service !!

Re: Picked up my new 380 yesterday
Glad I read this post. Got my 380 a couple months back, string is only half inch off the front of rail and digging into the suppressors pretty good. Thanks for the info.paulaboutform wrote:X2...and as said before, make sure your string is 1/4" off the bumpers (3/4" from the seem at the front of the rail) and I highly recommend removing your scope mounting screws carefully, one at a time, and applying some blue loktight (medium strength). Congrats on your new bow, it's a tack driver.Normous wrote:Don't put any crap on your mainframe because it could cause premature serving separation and leaves a mess to clean.
A small bit of non scent string wax worked into the string as needed is required on occasion only.
Re: Picked up my new 380 yesterday
I amazed at the accuracy of this 380. Using the factory string, diablo arrows, and 100 gr. target points, I am shooting 1" groups at 50 yards from a bench. Can't wait for deer season !!

Re: Picked up my new 380 yesterday
I had to re-twist my 380 at least 4 times over a couple months with the factory string when new to accomplish the correct clearance - - and that was with less than 2 doz shots -------I have a call into Danny Miller --- that should solve it
