Was a great bow, brought me back into pointy stick hunting after a dreaded absence of many years. Had fun, and tagged a handful of deer with it.
Then a Member here wanted it for his Lad, and offered to trade me for an ExoMax. Bigger, More Power, Better (imho).
Indeed we traded and he informs me his Young Gun still shoots & loves the Ibex!
Hunted a few years with the big Exo. Powerhouse Thumper I thought then, and rightfully so! Very accurate, and managed to put even more deer on the ground with it...
Then Excalibur introduced the Matrix 380...
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Drooled over the pictures, tried desperately to tell myself I didn't "need" one, then promptly ordered one direct from the first issue!

The Exo went to a close hunting buddy (giving me another bow hunting partner) for a good price, and helped fund the 380...
The 380 has proven itself to be All That over and over and over for me.
Incredibly Accurate, Damn Tough, and Loads of Power. Taken a good handful of critters with it now.
I really don't think I'll ever let go of this one...
Unless they come up with a Micro 500 that has a draw weight I can manage with the rope cocker...
