Quill insert issue...

I just received my new Micro 335 package. On the very first shot the insert came out of the Quill arrow and stayed inside my Morrell bag target. That's rather disappointing. Is this common?

100 grain vs 150 grain. ....

This may have been discussed before, if so I apologize. Just wondering if the benefit of shooting the 150 grain head is primarily for fixed blade broadheads. I always like to capitalize on things that increase accuracy. Since I will be shooting a 100 grain mechanical can I use the Diablo arrows with...

Mechanical broadheads.....

Looking for input from those who have used mechanical broadheads such as NAP Spitfires or Rocket broadheads with blade retention bands. I have used heads like these with vertical bows with success. Just wondering if anyone has info to share about their experience with these heads and Excalibur cross...

What arrow/broadhead combo do you shoot?

I just got a new Matrix 355 And have been enjoying shooting it. It is very accurate as usual. I have been shooting the supplied Diablo arrows with 150 grain and 100 grain field tips with exceptional accuracy. I would like to know what arrow / broadhead combination others are using. I like the though...

Brace height for Mateix 355...

What is the normal brace height for the Mateix 355. The Exo series of bows has those marks on the barrel to show you where optimum brace height is. I don't see those marks on my Matrix.

I need broadhead input.....

I just purchased a new Matrix 355. I need input on which broadhead to use with the 18" Diablo arrows. I could use 100 grain NAP Spitfires that I already have but that seems a little light to me. My other choices are 150 grain fixed blade heads...... the Excalibur Bolt Cutters or Slick Trick Xbo...

Single dot red dot sight.....

Do any of you use a single dor Red Dot sight? I have a multi dot sight on my Vortex. I seem to think the sight picture is a lttle crowded with the multi dot sight. I was thinking of switching to a single dot sight and using the hold over/ hold under method. My Vortex has a flat enough trajectory tha...

S5 observation......

I recently purchased a S5 for my Exocet 200. I've shot it for about a month now. And while there is a slight improvement in percieved noise/shock, I find that my bow is more accurate without the S5. With the S5 installed the bow is reasonably accurate, without the S5 installed you can't aim at the s...

got a Nikon Bolt XR.......

I bought a new Nikon Bolt XR scope for my Exocet 200. I was very impressed with the scope. Awesome clarity! Quality of the scope was top notch, as is typical of all Nikon scopes I have. I mounted it yesterday and had it punching the center of the bull in about 4 shots. 1/4" clicks at 20 yards a...

Sounds stupid but it works.......

I have been a fan of NAP Shockwave broadheads for quite some time. I have had excellent results on deer with them. The only problem is that I like to practice with broadheads and the o-rings are a real pain to deal with when taking repeated practice shots. I decided to try 1 TIGHT wrap of Scotch 33 ...
