I just put money down on a Matrix 380. I went to a LAS and shot the 380, and that was all she wrote WOW is all I can say. I thought my compound was fast, this thing buries the bolt. Since I missed out on Turkey season I opted to put it on layaway since I already have a compound, which I hope sells soon to take up some of the cost of this bad boy.
Thanks to all for your advice as I was considering this transition to the curve

Are we supposed to name our bows? I noticed some very catchy names.

Re: Newest Member of the Excalibur Family
Is there any aftermarket stuff I should be looking at for the Matrix.
Obviously a case.
I am thinking BEE's for additional bolts
I hear a lot bout Boo string but am ignorant as to what that is
Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

You can't go wrong with BEE bolts from what I have read, and seen with a few guys that I shoot with. Boo string is made by Don Katsumi, he is in Canada, and has been making them for a long time. You can find him on the trading post, and he has a website as well. You can find all kinds of other gadgets too, the best accessory in my mind is the cheek piece, puts your eye in the zone every time.

It helps to name it so when you start talking to it you will know how to address the thing instead of Hey YouWinchester 70 wrote:Are we supposed to name our bows? I noticed some very catchy names.

Re: Newest Member of the Excalibur Family
Congratulations on a great choice. The bow is great as is but there are some improvements you can spend a little extra. Check out the Trigger Tech Triggers (Matrix Hunter 2.5lbs two stage), Black Eagle Arrows, Leupold scope.
