Im sure you put one of your strings on the mega ? Was serving wear bad ? worsre than your 380 ? Same ? Did excal use a different string on this high poundage bow ? Sorry to ask so many ? but your the only one I know to have hands on with the Mega .

The 405 uses the same BCY Dynaflight 97 string shared by the 355/380 according to the spec sheet. The Twilight DLX is packaged scope for the Mega.

I imagine the 400 would be acceptable to cock. I found the 380 much easier to cock than the equinox due to the shorter stroke. But the first thing I had to do was throw the insufficient length excal rope away, and replace it with a full length rope where the hooks could actually reach the string. I don't know what excal were thinking there supplying a cocking rope 4" short of reaching the string? With a full length rope your back is not bent right over when you're reaching the end of the cocking stroke, so there is no back strain.

I have about 700 shots on my string and it looks pristine! All Matrix strings are the same.
I am not the only field tester and I got the green light to talk about it earlier today.
Ask away all you want.

Dash, if you found the 380 easy to cock you'll find the 400 acceptable. People with bad back should consider a C2.

I got less than 1" with the G5 Strikers and 1.5" with the G5 Striker Magnums (1.5" cut). Both are fixed.
I do not have a 330 but I did have a rail cut down 1" shorter than a 355 like Hester did. Haven't shot it much but I let one of the members here fart around with it for a couple of months.
I wasn't so keen on shooting it much because I was busier than normal this year and I was also pretty consumed with trying to break the 405.

From the spec sheet:

No clue but I do know that Danny Miller will take orders for them.
It's cheaper than a Scorpyd that does the same speed but it'll be far more reliable! To change a string you don't have to take a picture of how the strings zig zag and go around and around.

Thanks for the info, I was thinking about adding another Matrix to my collection but something else might have to go first. Kinda thought about a 380 blackout but now that the 330 is coming out I am not sure ...405 is out the question for my weak arse

I'm happy with the 380 for hunting, but I bought it more for the smaller size. I'm leaning towards a lower poundage bow for target work. With the shorter bolts and higher poundage of the new bow range, you're lucky if you get to see you're arrows again

MAP = minimum advertised price. I am sure MSRP will be much higher. I am curious what they will actually be priced. My guess the whole Matrix line will go up.
