Beautiful Montana Day! w/pics

Post by MTBighorn »

A year ago I got my first Excalibur. A Matrix 380 Xtra. I sighted it in pretty rough by shooting into some soft dirt and them proceeded to shoot a 1/2 dozen rabbits. One was an intentional head-shot at 60yrds!.. and then my limb cracked :? ..Out of frustration I just pitched it into the corner and started shooting my
Jaguar.

When the Jaguar string finally failed this fall, I was cooled off enough to get the Excal running again :mrgreen: Now with no working bow, I ordered a Lynx while waiting for Danny Miller to fix my Xtra. (what a nice guy!!!!)

I got out today to sight in the Xtra...wow these bows are so nice!!! The 380 loaded with 18" Zombies never disappoints.! :twisted: :mrgreen:

Ran the bow through the paces out to 60 yards with the TactZone.

I knew from shooting the Lynx that if I turned my scope dial down to 275fps, the 60yrd mark was dead on at 100yards. SO I set a Coke can on my target and moved back to 100yards.

Here was the first 4 arrows w/ my Xtra, at 100yards shooting unsupported off of my knee. :mrgreen: It sure put a smile on my face as I walked up to the target! I think this bow would break arrows @ 100yds if I was to try this same attempt from my bench.

This second picture shows the back drop of my Montana sky and the mountains where I hunt. It was such a nice day to be shooting the bow...40* and No wind :D

Hope you all are having a great Sunday, and enjoy the pics!
