If everything is tight that leaves the scope. Send it back they will give you a new one to try.

Re: matrix 380 scope problem??
What happens when you shoot the same arrow with the same cock vane down? Are the 4 scope mount screws tight?

If you still have the Axiom then I would suggest you switch the scopes to confirm a scope issueaxiluc wrote:scope is tight all screws tried using arrow that hit dead on but wasnt getting same results on second shot,, i could shoot circles around this bow with my axiom so theres a problem some were,,, thanks for your help..enormous wrote:What happens when you shoot the same arrow with the same cock vane down?

Re: matrix 380 scope problem??
Everything is tight and shooting using a lead sled to remove human error and trying a fresh arrow, but shots are still erratic. If you are in the states call Danny Miller at (740) 483-2312 for a scope warranty swap or upgrade to a Leupold scope.axiluc wrote:just got my m380 and took it out shooting at 20 yards in a lead sled rest very solid, was able to hit bulls eye within a few shot but after that the next shot was at least 4 inches away i am able to bring it back by reajusting my scope but it wont stay shouldnt i be able to hit dam near close to the bulls eye at 20 yards in a rest who thinks its the scope,,, everything is tight on the bow ????????

Re: matrix 380 scope problem??
Hey Ronnie, I'm excited for you to get your new bow. Let me reiterate again...PLEASE do yourself a big favor and blue lock-tight all your screws and bolts and leave them overnight to set. I know how hard it is to have to wait to play with a new toy but it really is worth it.RonnieM wrote:I should get mine tomorrow in the mail, matrix 380.

Re: matrix 380 scope problem??
I actually went through this as well. I suggest getting some good magnetic hex bits, pounding them into each bolt and screw and tighten them all down (after cleaning the threads and applying blue lock-tight first). As per quoted message to Ronnie on this thread, doing this first can eliminate questions as to possible scope issues. I also thought I had my scope mount screws tight enough but they weren't. Turned out I still had a defective scope but I knew everything else was solid. Keep us updated.

Re: matrix 380 scope problem??
Danny said it would be fine without the locktite. Just after about 12 shots make sure everything is still tight and it should be fine. I will do that first since I ordered it from him. If that does not work then I will use the blue locktite. My main concern is the scope. Should be here tomorrow. We shall see

Re: matrix 380 scope problem??
Ronnie, degrease all your screw fasteners and tap holes first. Any leftover manufacturing oils contribute to fasterners loosening with vibration.

Re: matrix 380 scope problem??
Use a thin film of black silicone inside rings prior to mounting scope. Once it sets up scope will not move in rings and this also prevents rings marking your scope.
