Finally got to compare !
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.

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.

Re: Finally got to compare !
I got a micro V M . All I can say is I love it but the cocking is tough , I'd say about the same as my m380. Hower carrying it thru the brush where I hunt makes it worth it

Re: Finally got to compare !
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.Mo wannabe wrote:I got a micro V M .

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.
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!
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!
