Matrix 380

Post by Hawkeyemd »

Just a "Heads- Up" : I was just checking over my new Matrix 380 after an evening shoot, approx. 36 shots. I found all four small screws that hold the scope on were loose !! I think they were supposed to be loctited from the factory, but evidently they were not. I loctited them, and checked all screws. I think with all the torque this bow has, the screws need to be checked often ! Thanks & Good Shooting, Hawkeyemd

The screws are secured with Loctite at the factory however it is possible yours was missed in error or not enough was applied. Its always good practice to check scope mount screws on any crossbow as they are the most likely to loosen. Remember to only use "blue" Loctite, the red stuff will ruin your day if you ever need to remove them.
