So I called Danny Miller and got some of his string bumpers on the way.
Now was looking into Dr. Stirrup 4x4 Kocker. And also the Stirrup replacement. Anyone use these? Is it really easier to cock the bow with this?
Was thinking about a top Mount quiver maybe too. My list is growing! But the $ shrinking !

Re: 350Se accessories
the DR Stirrup does make cocking easier, but I would not add the bulk to the 350, it is already pretty compact for a Matrix series bow and think this would add more bulk to needlessly mod the bow, and pretty mild to cock the way it is. JMO

Re: 350Se accessories
Dr Stirrup: the stirrup protects the broadhead, allows both feet to be used for cocking, acts as a stand for the xbow, reduces the felt effort by bout the amount to the next lower Matrix model, is much quieter than the tuning fork stirrup, the cocking rope and handles Meeks cocking easier also. The DM string bumpers are nice. The Dr Stirrup string bumpers are unequaled.
As wildcatter stated, if there is no problem cocking the xbow, the benefits of the stirrup may not outweigh the benefits. The original Stirrup can be wrapped to where it is virtually silent. The limb silencers, string bumpers and cocking rope will help regardless. And maybe the stirrup depending on your physical condition.
IOW's , most of the Dr Stirrup kit will help virtually any Excal and shooter.

Re: 350Se accessories
My new 350 SE arrived less than a week ago. I'm taking a different approach to accessorizing my bow. I have asked Vixenmaster to send me a string for it (I must have a spare), I'll order some BE Zombies, buy some slicktricks, and I'll be ready to go hunting. I was shocked at how easy this bow is to cock. The only other crossbow I have ever cocked or shot is my Axiom and the 350 is just as easy for me to cock (I'm 6'2" and 68 yrs. old). This is the same approach I took with my Axiom when I bought it in 2012 and I have killed at least one deer with it every year. The scope, trigger, cocking rope, stirrup all have performed just fine for me. That said, I do understand the satisfaction that comes with improving things with your own hands.

Re: 350Se accessories
Ya know, I never even gave a thought to an extra string that's an obvious necessity! Especially since my other 2 are long limbs. Can't use them on Matrix.
