Yes indeed we are. Danny and David are without a doubt, too of the nicest people you could ever talk to over the phone, hope some day to meet them both. But then again their some other good folks on this forum i can say the same about. And its a mixed bag, Canadians, Yankees at least most of them Smile..Rednecks and on and on....Learned more here than in any book or even google. In fact i thing along with the Excalibur stringer tool, Being part of this forum weather in the shadows or a active member is the best two things to do once you get your bow...............

Grats Bubba.
I tried the 355 but it was to much for this beat up little old guy.....
I had to drop down to the 330 and it will work great for hunting.
I use the 310 for shooting all day but shoot the 330 several times as well.
Either one would work great for the woods I hunt in but liked the idea of a little more speed. Now I just gotta wait for my Big John arrows to arrive which he is shipping out Monday :)

Bubba,

I was in the same boat, havin' fun torturing myself over the 355 or the 380. Decided on the 355 as it had the same performance as my old equinox (which I sold to my brother) and that was fast enough. I mainly wanted a bow of smaller size. The Micro felt a little too small and the 380 was bigger again even if only a little bit. From what I have read the 355 is dead nuts reliable and finally while I am currently not quiiiiiite 50 and in good shape I know it will not always be so and the 355 is easier to cock and I usually do 30-40 shot practice sessions. So settled on a 355 from David at Wyverns. Only surprise was the arrow weights, I thought they were supposed to be around 410 gr and they came in at 432 gr and are a bit slower (329 fps) than I expected. A little mis-comunication with Dave on the order. He offered to swap them out but they shoot great, will handle any wind as well as is possible and will hit hard so I think I will stick with them. Been very happy with it so far. The single stage TT is great. Got about 150 or so shots on it so far on factory string. Now going to pull that off and keep it as the spare and put on and shoot in the Wyvern's flemmish. Good choice, hope you like it as much as I like mine!

Thanks All for the comments... I'm in love with this bow.. And have no regrets on not going with the 380. The 355 is fast and sweet, and has its place hanging on my wall, until i croak...... Which i hope will be at least past this up coming season..SMILE....

Congrats Bubba. I know you waited a loooong time. Glad you are a happy camper. Sounds like you are shooting lights out..
