It's still got some volume but it "feels" quieter. Less vibration and more of a "pop" than a twang.

Thanks!

Will they be legal for deer in Ont?

9.5" power stroke being the issue

Don't confuse power stroke with draw length.

In Ontario, for all big game (deer/bear/moose) a crossbow must have a "draw length" of 300 mm (11.8").

The definition for "draw length" is:

"The draw length of a Crossbow is measured along the bolt ramp (where the bolt rests) from the outer edge of the main limb, to the anchor point (release latch mechanism) at full draw."

I'm wodering if it will be possible to put these limbs on a M355. That would make a 2.7" longer power stroke and a narrow package. It would probably take the draw weight up somewhere around 320lbs I'm guessing. The limbs I would think could handle it as the flex wouldn't be much different than what the Matrix limbs see between the M310 to M380. Hmmm :twisted:

It would play hell on the serving though...that would be a pretty severe string angle.

Did anyone else notice this: Draw weight of 270# yields speed of 335 fps, versus say a M330 with a draw weight of 220# and a speed of 330... with the micro limbs and shorter stroke, the poundage goes way up. That's a lot of draw weight for 335 fps.... Just saying....

One may need regular gym use to get a Micro to hit 400 + fps.

I was thinking the same thing! If they make a Micro 380, gosh you'd probably be pulling well over 300#. I can dig the smaller package, but that's a lot of draw weight to pull...
