I don't think I made my question clear.
Everyone here seems to agree that Excalibur is the way to go.
But few people here on this forum shoot one "out of the box".
For those of us who really want to buy our first Excalibur (and I do!) is it that advantageous to buy the bare bow and spend all that extra cash to trick it out, or can we expect to shoot more than adequately well in hunting situations with the scope, string, trigger, and arrows that come in the kits. Also, realistically speaking, with someone of your skill level, would your success be noticeably lower in a hunting situation with the stock kit version 405, 380, 355, or 330 versus the tricked out ones you use for target competition. I was never doubting whether your target skills were transferable to a hunting situation. on the contrary, I was asking if your target skills are so refined that in a hunting situation you really would do equally well with an "out of the box" model at reasonable yardage (30-40yds). Obviously at much higher yardage it would be a different story.
Thanks, and BTW, great photos!!!

I am new to this forum and have been bow hunting for a few years now but have just become more serious about it. I traded up my exomag for the M380 and it is completely stock out of the box with 18" diablos and tact zone scope. Last week I was lucky enough to take a nice 7pt at 25 yards. The M 380 was a missile and it didn't know what hit him. He went another 25 yards stopped and looked around and fell over dead in my view. Although I really loved my exomag I don't regret trading up to the 380. I have been reading a lot on this forum and learning a ton. Also my father inlaw "Roly" has taught me a ton on these bows They are def the best there is. Looking forward to learning more on this forum. I forgot to mention, the only upgrade on the bow is a boo string..
I just purchased my first x bow 2 weeks ago and after couple weeks of research I decided on the 380 Matrix. I spent about 3 hours the first time out shooting and I can't stop bragging about it.
She's all dialed in and I already mounted a GoPro camera on it to hopefully catch some late season action here in Michigan!!
