My Target and new bow "and more"

Post by TrevorOntario »

Matrix 380 Camo
Tact-Zone scope
Stock Diablo 18" bolts w 100 gn FP

Image

Tightly rolled up blankets and shoved into a corn feed bag.
This works better than just stuffing rags, IMO

Image

Used the top of another bag to keep the water out

Image

I'd say they go in about 1/3 bolt or so

Thanks
Yes I like it so far.
I went to a bargain shop and paid $2 or $3 dollars each for the blankets.
Had lots of old t-shirts and jeans i never wear.
Think it cost me about $20 total
I get the bags from my corn that i buy to feed the turkeys.
But that's not shooting broadheads.
I'll borrow a target for that, :)

Well ty
cdnarmyguy , I work on the base here but im not in the Military.

Ya the bow shoots very well, I am pleased so far.

Here's a random tip,
Make sure you always check your cocking aids for cracks.
Let’s say you were to use an old one you had and didn’t look it over.
Let’s also say you tried it on your new Matrix.
Lets say again that it blew apart and left a golf ball size bruise on the inside of my , i mean someone’s leg.

Just sayin
:)
