Finally got to compare !

Post by the elf »

Well yesterday I saw the 355 and the Micro side by side on a rack; and handled them.
I have a 355 and wanted to compare them.----Wow is all I can say !
The Micro is shorter ; lighter ; narrower .It is nice------BUT-----there is not
that much difference to me ; other than size from my 355. If I did not have a couple of Excaliburs already I would grab one in an instant.I dunno about the extra oomph
required in cocking; what it will do to my 72 1/2 year old body.
I have a C2 cocker but they are a pain in the a$$ if you do more than 1 or 2 shots.
Maybe will buy at a later date ; but not right now unless I sell something.

I also have the 355 Matrix, i had to go to the C2. So i said i might as well get the fastest n badest 405 Matrix,Kong! Now as much as i want the Micro Nitemare, i have a narrow 19"AtA MXB320. Its shoter more narrow n lighter & shoots 317 fps wid 425gr arrows. Now my other problem is my Mrs. eagle-eyed & i never could bring in anudder Excal & her not know it & not knowed which model it is. So i would have to sell my 355, thats dumb cause its faster than the Micro. Now if they come out wid a new higher poundage Micro say 360-365 fps then 355 Matric would leave here fer a new owner.

Vixenmaster-----------I hear you loud and clear------our wives must be related [ :lol: ]
mine doesn't miss much very often either. My problem is that I also like recurves and longbows and I guess I have a lot of stuff. Mine is usually very tolerant and I wouldn't
trade her for anything. She has put up with me for over 45 years so far.

That is where the hitch is, it ain't faster, it is a bit harder to cock, ain't anymore accurate, but the dang thing is small, and light. :lol: :lol:

All wives must be related I'm finding out (married only 1.5yrs). She still doesn't understand why I need more than one fishing rod/rifle/crossbow and doesn't understand why gun safes are so expensive, etc. :roll:

Luckily my wife has an expensive hobby too. She competes in triathlons and Ironman triathlons and we just bought her a triathlon race bike which is like a Ferrari of bikes and priced to match. So to keep things equal I bought a SKY archery TDX recurve riser and some carbon/maple limbs. Taking up traditional archery for hunting next year. Can't have too many recurves around the house! :mrgreen:

And I'm with you guys, a micro at 355-375fps would make me sell the M355. Well, maybe I'd sell....if I couldn't manage to fenagle keeping it too! :lol:
