Matrix 330 with ADF. No accuracy problems. Just concerned. Is this normal. Shot it couple hundred times. Thanks.

I emailed Peter back in May with the exact same question when I saw the same thing on my 380. He said it's the finish coming off at the joint where the limb tip meets the limb-- the camo finish doesn't stick so good to the glue and after some flexing the camo finish may crack or come off at the joint, and it's strictly a cosmetic thing. Many hundreds of shots later I've seen no change. You should be good to go.

My matrix 330 has 'cracks' in the finish just like your photo shows..nothing to worry about IMO. I emailed pics to Peter and got the same answer Keg got.
