Went out to purchase a 405 Matrix liked everything about it. Tried to cock it and was surprised , I could barely get it to the latch . Have had troubles with my shoulder Had to pass on buying it . Just glad I tried it before I took it home .
My buddy tried it after I got it latched and only got it to the anti dry fire . Ended up with the 380 . To windy to sight in today will try tomorrow . Will have to get Don to build me a string and it should be good to go .
Congrats!!!!!!! I don't think I could cock back a 405 either to old. I have the 380 and it's enough for me. I love it!!!!!!

I wanted the 405 for moose and bear hunting ( would like to talk Don into bear hunting with me ) using 500 plus grain arrows . I was looking for KE not speed . I liked the 405 my shoulders not so much . There would be no prolonged shooting sessions with the 405 unless I used the c2 . The other reason I was leaning towards the 405 was the fact I could purchase a bare bow . Did not need another scope , quiver etc . The 380 is only with a package .
Like the 380 so far need to spend some time shooting with various arrows .

Comfy the 405 was to much like a Bowflex exercise machine for me . I will work out with the 380 for a while and then maybe get a 405 . And yes to those of you wondering if I was in shape , cause round is a shape , right ?
Congrats on your new Matrix I tired the M380 and changed my mind and went with the M355 and glad I did the higher pound bows are not every one so shoots what's comfortable for you and enjoy it the Matrix 355 is the middle of the road I feel just right jmo!
