Matrix 380

Post by kevinr »

Just received my matrix 380 yesterday 3/21/13 :D Shot it nearly 100 times trying to setup scope but scope would not move 4 inches to left even after turning it 48 clicks to right ,So I determined i had a bad tact zone scope and emailed Excalibur, Shot bow again this morning 10 shots and MY LIMBS BROKE !! Called Excalibur they were great! agreed to replace scope and limbs no problem. I'm just scared of the 380 now, never heard of a Excalibur breaking limbs has anyone else heard of this on a bow that has never been dry fired.

Just curious, but is this your first cross bow?

Yes glad that you are okay. Man that must have made a loud noise and scared the crap out of you. Did both limbs break?

Glad you are ok. Was it put inside near a heat source or something?

Quite Bizarre! :shock:

With over 400 shots now, not a lick of any problem whatsoever with neither my scope nor the Matrix 380. In fact I've found it to be Everything I was Hoping It Would Be! Wonder what happened to this one along the way?

I wasn't saying you did just trying to figure it out. Unheard of a limb coming apart on matrix yet.

I think this was the bow that makes Excalibur returns 0.01% at least I hope so!

Maybe the mailman had a go at it. Maybe he is a fan of one of the other 'bows' :wink:
