I built myself a Hybrid Matrix, with an older rail machined down and 380 limbs and riser. I'm still working on an idea for a custom stock, so I'm using my Phoenix stock for now. I took it out today to dial in the scope and measured the speed, at 370 fps with a new string I'm pretty happy. It still needs to stretch out more to try different brace heights, but for now the string is a good 1/4" off the bumpers. It's an great fit for me and still reasonable to cock. I find it shoots very crisp compared to my Phoenix, there's no thwang after pulling the trigger, it's click, snap and whack now. In keeping Bill's way of name his Xbows, I think this one will be named EXUVIAE.
What is the best way to change the string? I have an Excal stringer, but there's no way I was pulling it up by hand. Do you folks use a string cocker to pull it up?

That’s the only way I change my strings. I use the rope cocker to draw the stringer back. Good luck!

X2! Sounds like a sweet Crossbow.

Once the stock is complete I'll post pics
Thanks for info with the stringer, I'm used to my Phoenix, that I was able to pull the string aid by hand.

I know one poor fella who tried to cock a high poundage excal by hand. When the string got away from him he lost two fingernails.
