Matrix Grizzly with metal sling / bipod Stud

Post by chuckinator »

I just received my first Xbow, a Matrix Grizzly. Nice bow for the money,and shoots excellent. I love my new bow. The only thing I was disappointed with was the front plastic stud to hold a sling or a bipod. I attached my Harris bipod and it broke while tightening the bipod to the stud. I removed most of three plastic stud and after careful measurements I installed a 1/2 metal stud right where the plastic stud had been.
It's been working great and I can still attach my sling to the bottom of the bipod. Maybe many of u have done this but it was new to me and thought I'd share. Don
I've attached a couple pics

I had a about the same thing happen to me with my Ibex, i use a Harris bi-pod attached to the sling swivel when i'm adjusting my scope, for a rock solid rest. And the plastic stud chipped off, i wasn't happy . Any way bought me a set of screw in steel studs online, sanded down the broken plastic one on the S.M.F. rail, drilled a hole one size smaller than the stud, and screwed the steel one in.And have had 0 issues since then. But i can't help to look at the rear sling stud from time to time, since it's also plastic. So you are not alone my friend. And we both came up with the same fix... See Yaa..

You need to host the picture on another "hosting" site like "Photobucket" . Once it is hosted there, you can copy then paste (internet location) the picture can then be seen here.

Currently this site does not host pictures like some other sites do. I believe what Awshucks was saying is that in Photobucket , there will be 4 url windows to the right of your picture, copy and past the 4th into where you want it (your thread)
