Matrix 380 limb test

Any recommendations on if or how long I should leave my new matrix 380 in the cocked position to check for limb issues? 4 hrs? 12 hrs? Days?

Thanks

Re: Speculation thread on the limbs breaking....

Also going to add the Dr. Stirrup stuff to the bow as well to help reduce vibration. Though I believe he recommends to keep the string very close to just touching his bumpers. Any thoughts on that? Seems like most folks keep their strings off the bumpers a little further.

Thanks

Re: Speculation thread on the limbs breaking....

I also wondered about using air rakes. My Equinox came standard with them, and I wonder if all older models came standard with them? I have ordered a matrix 380 in blackout and am having the air brakes from the get go.

trigger on the 380 matrix question

Does the Matrix 380 come with the Trigger Tech trigger as stock? If not, is the Trigger Tech single stage trigger a noticable upgrade? Thanks!

Buffalo with crossbow

Anyone shot one with a crossbow? Did you use an outfitter, and if so, which one? Would you recommend them/return for another hunt? I am looking at High Adventure Outfitters in Missouri. Also, which bow/distance of shot/broadhead used? Any advice would be appreciated!

thanks

Re: Can't seem to send PM

Sent PM's before....January through June 2015. About a dozen. These new ones seem to stay stuck in my outbox. Maybe the rules changed after June?
