Bulldog at Boo's

Boo · Post by **Boo** » Mon Feb 29, 2016 10:07 am

I'm sure there are forum members who are curious about the Bulldog. So, are there any comments from the guys who handled and or shot the Bulldog yesterday?

Yep I can chime in here.

Pros.
Camo good match from the stock all the way to the limbs
Overall Fit and finish
Stock design
Balance
Nice trigger no creep and light single stage
No noticeable vibration

Cons
A close call destroying an arrow from aiming at another arrow in the target.

For smaller frame adults like me I found it a challenge to cock. But no issue for most guys that shot it.

There is a lot to like on that bow. I would like to see the same stock with Micro Limbs in say a 350fps package. Maybe someday.....

How about tomorrow Jeff?

I find it easier to cock than the 405, donno for sure why. But the balance of the bow is really nice and has me thinking that I should buy one because you are and you are a smart guy!
Incidental, my hearing is pooched but is it my imagination or was it less noise than expected?

Jeff,

My buddy shot both the 400 BD and the new 355 at the Nook the other day. He's a smaller guy and he said 355 was harder to cock than the 400 BD. I see you have 355 - would you say your 355 was easier or harder than 400?
I had a chance to hold the 400BP but did not have time to shoot it yet. I have one on order so we'll see how it shoots soon.

This is just my opinion.

I found the bull dog to be about the same as the micro 355 to cock.

The big difference is the distance at rest to the latches. I really felt that last inch on the BD. On the Micro as soon as it gets really stiff it just about cocked.

For most shooters the BD will be the perfect choice for speed and balance.

For sure you need to buy one. You don't have enough bows...

As far as noise it seems to be the same as my Micro but noise never bothers me....

How would you guys compare the stock trigger to a single stage trigger tech??

Worth the upgrade to a TT?

I will like to see your bulldog Micro next time Jeff

Heck peer pressure worked on the 355 so its just a matter of time before you buy that Bulldog, and you are a dog person!
I liked it again, easier to cock then the 355 Micro for me even with the longer stroke.
Its a tough call what one i will get next.
Trigger is really nice in it. Felt light. I wouldn't put a TT in it but thats me.
They did a fantastic job on it. Balanced much better then the 405. Only issue i forsee is eye relief maybe with some scopes. That is easily fixed though.

My wheels are always spinning. I am really hoping Excalibur doesn't listen to my suggestion for a bull pup Micro.. LOL

So do you guys think the riser design makes it sound more like a micro when shot VS say a matrix 380?
