What is this? Matrix 401?

[darwal44]

I found this on the web

http://www.kuse.cz/kuse/eshop/0/0/5/10- ... -401-tuned

It looks like the Matrix, even has the Excalibur logo, but it has a 280 lb draw weight and a 401 fps seep

Somebody knows something about this?

Translated specs from site:

Matrix 401 is the fastest chunk out of our range. Kuse is equipped with a massive body from one piece of aluminum.

The whole piece comes from the Canadian Excalibur , except major components - the body.

Body / frame : Made in Czech Republic.

Bow / bow crossbow and all the rest : Made in Canada .



Matrix 401 Xtra crossbow is new in many ways groundbreaking Canadian Excalibur crossbow combined Czech massive duralumin body.

U Matrix 401 are reflected my personal experience , precise Czech workshop works on top CNC milling machine and the quality of Canadian Excalibur. Thus crossbow určana for true connoisseurs who will not settle for a classic series production , but want to have something extra , accuracy , strength, and sheer power . Designed for hunting or competition 3D , where is your eventual error in the estimate compensated extremely cruise missiles .

Yes, that's what they says, but what I'd want to know is there is some kind of association with Excalibur? or is the Matrix 401 and imitation of their own.

IT'S ABOUT A DOLLAR BILL

One of the things that I really like about the 380 is the synthetic stock. it doesn't turn into a heat sink like my old aluminum bow riser!

It appears to be just some dude-man-guy who took a matrix and put his own rail on her.

The rail also looks like a solid chunk of aluminum!!!
And hes rippin off the excal logo to an extent. I wouldnt go near his stuff.

[wheelie]

WOW I like it! Wonder if that is considered aftermarket for warranty?

I don't know the story here but it looks cool!!

[darwal44]

Although Excalibur told me that they don't have plans for a 400 fps model in the near future, the "the near future" could be around the corner

[yooper_man]

How can they get (280lb pull) 20 more lbs of draw weight with the same 13.1" power stroke found on the current Matrix 380 with a 260lb draw weight?

I am willing to bet their rail is longer which would also make it weigh more. They still show it at 5.9lbs mass weight. All I can see is they copied the specs off Excalibur's website verbatim.

Obviously Excalibur knows about this and is exporting their products or they don't know.

I ask myself the same question: How do they get the 280 lbs with the same power stroke?
Nevertheless if Excalibur would have made the matrix rail one inch longer maybe they would have reached the 400 fps velocity. Not big difference in hunting but sure in marketing.

Wonder what the weight is?

[one shot scott]

A mere 18lbs

A mere 18lbs

If dropped from a tree just right, that could KILL a deer among other things.

[darwal44]

You mean to throw the crossbow to the deer instead of shoot with it?
