Matrix 330 vs 355
To those whom have owned one or the other or both. Want to hear yer opinion on these models, i have owned the 355 thought it was nice enuff jus abit much fer me on longer practice sessions
Re: Matrix 330 vs 355
I have the 330 and a 350 LE. The 330 is a little easier to cock if shooting a lot but I enjoy the speed of the 350. I will probably take the 350 LE hunting more often than the 330. Both are problem free bows.

Excaliber Dan should answer up directly. He has both, and seems a little more keen on the 330. My 330 is indeed easier to cock than the Micro 335. It's not the fastest bow in my collection, but it shoots every bit as well as my 380. I now understand the affection for this under-appreciated model.

Own the 355 and love it. Problem free. Long practice sessions aren't a problem as I use a crank. Still astonished by it's accuracy.
Re: Matrix 330 vs 355
Had both but I had the speed bug so the 355 is the only one in the stable right now. Didn't feel much difference between them, but I don't have long practice sessions.

Re: Matrix 330 vs 355
Both are great, but you really are not giving up much with the 330, it is a miniature Vortex, and my favorite for all around.

Re: Matrix 330 vs 355
I have the 350LE and love it!!
I like being able to shoot a 421gr arrow and still be @ 321fps.
This one and my Vixen goes nowhere.

Re: Matrix 330 vs 355
I currently have both, started with the 330 (last year), and thought I needed more speed so bought a 355. As a matter of fact they are both wearing your strings. Honestly the 330 shoots just as good as the 355 just with less speed, both are awesome, myself at almost 50 yrs old can feel the extra draw weight on cocking, especially after long shooting sessions. Just my 2 cents.

Re: Matrix 330 vs 355
I have both even thou your only talking 20fps the 355 " seems" a lot faster to me the 355 makes a louder. "Paaaank" sound wen fired . I was totally impressed with how my 330 went thru my 220 pound buck n broke the leg bone going out ....after that do you really need more bow. At hunting ranges 30 yards both bows have almost the same tragectory i love my 330 its my favorite. I really dont think ill need anything bigger then the 355 i basically bought the 355 because it was the fastest excal bow with the least problems on the forum that i see.

Re: Matrix 330 vs 355
Mike, I only have the M355. Now mind you I only shoot preseason to make sure the bow is on. Then the bow is put on hold, the next shot is on a live target, I hope. Unless I've bumped my scope with knowledge of doing so, she's only shot in the field. Again I still believe the bow is a close range weapon. Can it be use longer distances, sure. My thought is it just brings in more hidden branches, twigs etc. when hunting in the hard woods which I only do. With that said either bow will work just fine as you know. I have no experience with the M330 I could only imagame she's a fine shooter too...

Re: Matrix 330 vs 355
My vote goes to the 330!
I have had both and had difficulty cocking the 355 after my hernia surgery.
Traded with Gene for his 330 and we are both happy.
I think the 330 is an awesome set-up. Much easier on the body than the 355, and you don't really lose much.

Re: Matrix 330 vs 355
I had both at one time. My vote would go to the 330. For the average size hunter under 6' tall. Better balanced and plenty of speed for any game animal. If the Micro wasn't invented I would still have it..

Re: Matrix 330 vs 355
After ponderin this info from members fer a couple/few days. I had the 355 model but i remember it was a strain to rope cock after the 15th shot. So i am sure i will get the 330 as my next Excal
