I can't see much of felt cocking effort between my 330 and my 350. Our deer/turkey archery season opens tomorrow. Weather people are calling for 62 degrees in the city tomorrow morning so it will be in the high 50s at my place. Be taking the 350 out for its first hunt.

I love the feel of the 200# Vortex and think the new M350 SE (with its destressed limb mounting) may well be the new Vortex. I bet it'll be a good match of smoothness, easy cocking and accuracy. Though the new limb mounting reduces speed, the benefits likely outweigh that loss.
Now, you just need to find a really good string for it!

The FOC is rarely a bad choice: maybe never.

How does the Nikon Bolt work out on the 350SE? I just picked up a 350 and was thinking of this exact setup. Nikon's spot on shows the dots as 20, 30, 45...

Does this make a good match?

I can't add anything on the aiming points, as I don't use them. But what I can say is the Nikon Bolt is worth its weight in just the light gathering characteristics over the factory offering . Night and day. No pun intended.

I already have the Nikon Bolt on my Grizzly, but was mostly wondering how it would be on a faster bow like the 350SE I just bought. Nikon's Spot On shows that the aim points will be 20 - 30 and 45 for the first 3...

Ok thanks. If anyone has a pic of this I would appreciate if you posted it. I have the air brakes on mine so would I still be able to tell what I have?
