Back from a fun few hours shooting both the 355 & 330 Matrix Xbows. I will say these "APE" arrows impressed me. I'm adding a few pictures, then will explain what I went through with both models with different scopes, etc. Firts is 330 with Nikon Bolt.

Second is the 355 with Redfield Revenge.

OK, the 330 has no adjustments for various yardages past 20, the scope chevrons are preset and based on 300 FPS. I set my 20 2" high, and the 30,40,and 50 yard chevrons lined up nearly perfectly. Kill shots through all ranges. I was shooting off stix, and I am honestly a little rusty. From a bench I'm sure it would have been much better. The Redfield Revenge I adjusted dead on at 20 yards which required 8 clicks up on the scope, I then shot through the ranges getting a bit lower at 30, and a bit more at 40, and still a little bit lower at 50, I adjusted my speed, or magnification ring to 4 from 5, and that was all she took. I shot all 6 randomly, and used the white vane as the cock vane at first, then randomly inserted the arrow vanes in the rail & shot, very consistent. So, here is my point system review, 10 being the highest mark:
1. Easy to use, & repair. - 10
2. Weight - Heavy - 7 ( not for everyone)
3. Build quality / durability - 10
4. Accuracy - 10
5. I'm stealing this term, "whackability" - 10 These hit HARD!
6. Cost - 8
I'm going to hunt with these this year, and tweak my Matrix Sister's through the summer months. I'm not worried about the loss in speed, so I'm glass half full with these.

I gave the cost an 8, but really it should be a 10. You get all the components for the same price of 6 lighted nocks of another brand, and the rest is included. Once the arrows are cut, and remember you need front inserts for the rear, I used aluminum to keep from adding xtra weight, but the assembly, and repair time is now very minimal, no special tools required, and no real skill needed to get great looking, and performing arrows, yes, and heavy! Bows sounded pretty quiet pushing them trucks off the string.
