Matrix Help Needed ASAP

Post by Tim50 »

I was shooting my NEW Matrix and as I cocked it the rope slipped up out of the grove and apparently engaged the ADF. The string is resting on the ADF latch and I cannot figure out to release the string. I went to my Excal booklet, to the web site even to youtube and they show you how it works but not how to disengage the ADF so I can let the string down. Is there a link on the Excal Web site that I missed? Any advice would be appreciated! :oops: :oops:

You have to reengage the rope cocker, take the weight of the string off the latch (like you would if decocking the bow, this frees up a hand to push the latch up). Once the string is out of the way you can push the anti-dry fire arm to lift the latch. Once the finger is up then you can let the string down.

Do I have to let the string down with the rope cocker or can I shoot it?

Put your rope cocker on it to let it down[one hook high tight to string and rail], put the rope in the groove for the rc.

Pull up on the one handle, release the dryfire claws and lower it down.

Then, re-cock normally.......Don't ask me how I know this works :mrgreen:
