Anthony, what are you complaining about, I remember you trying to aquire "Colton's" kid version bow. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Smart boy, he learned very quickly to not let you near his bow. BTW, was Colton not taller then you :wink: :lol:

Back to the topic's orginal question, best advice is to get the one which feels best in your hands. Try holding the bow up in a shooting postion for a longer then normal, just like a hunting situation might make you do.

Think I've narrowed it down to the 355 or 335. I really do like the Micro. Pick on me cause I'm short. go for it. Fill your boots. Next time you sit on an Air Transat plane going on holidays, just remember. I've got lots of leg room. Now who's laughing. hehehehehehehe!!!

You better not take my advice,,, or if you do you need to do a lot more talking to your wife, and probably should start now.

I Started out much the same, tossed between the 355 and 380,,,, when they introduced the Lynx a 380 in A-P Snow Camo, a pattern I love for late season,, I bought it!!

#2 after shooting it for a month and trust me it will shoot with any Exomax I know, that was my first Excalibur, they introduced a Mad Max,,, yes I loved it and had to have another 380!! I mean you need something for early season,,, :wink:

#3 then the 1000's of reviews on the Micro after 6 months and holding several, I new I had the finest hunting bows Excalibur mad with 2-380's but,,, yep I had to add one. So I had to find out what the fuss was about,,,, yep I have one, after shooting it and seeing just how accurate it could be,, it will shoot 1" @ 60 yards with fixed blade broadheads!! I decided to make it personal, it is now dressed in 100% 3D Deception Camo pattern. I shoot this bow better offhand than any crossbow I ever owned!!

Saying all this I am now in another dilemma,,, I have seen and shot the 355 and "I WANT ONE"!! I am considering another Custom Camo'd pattern for it,, gotta find a way to justify it.... :wink:

So now my personal recommendation,,,,, buy all three, you'll need them,,, I Love that little Micro, the Lynx shoots as good as the Mad Max,,, both will take any animal I could ever hunt. BUT if I could only own one bow,,, God forbid!!! It would be the 380 Mad Max,,,,, Like Sew said 1" groups at 70 yards is as far as I have tested mine, with a scope set on 2.5 to 2.8X with fixed blade broadheads, with 125# KE,,,, I just can't part with a setup like that,, but you need to make her understand,,, you need backups!! :wink:
