Power of the Matrix 380

Post by xpert1111 »

I am just amazed at this crossbow! 50 yard shot at this buck, spined him and dropped immediately. What amazes me is at that distance, the power of this bow did so much damage. When I walked up to him I could actually see one of his vertebrae sticking out past his hide. Also used a NAP Crossfire Max mechanical. Can I love this bow any more????

xpert,

This is my second year with the Matrix 380, it is an incredible unit. The 380 delivers some unbelievable energy. I shot a doe earlier this year at 20 yards. Not only did the bolt go through both shoulders, it continued for 10 yards burying the broadhead about 3/8" into a tree. But I must say I think I will be buying the Matrix 405 also :)

Congrats on the kill!

Congrats on the buck and a great shot, that's a nice one indeed! I'm in my 1st season with the 380 but I'm absolutely loving it! Only had 1 shot with it so far but it did the job without question!
