Re: Looking for tested speeds of the matrix 355

They do take some time to smooth out. Usually within 100 shots or so. This one feels stiffer than normal, feels about 4lb+ But I'll see what it feels like after a couple hundred shots :) It will be a great bow to hunt with, very light :)

Re: Looking for tested speeds of the matrix 355

I got to shoot it a few minutes today :) doggonit....I guess I sold my stringer with the 380 so I can't put the reds on until I get one, probably this weekend. I just shot it freehanded so I can't say a lot about accuracy either but its easier to cock than the 380 and shooting it without the reds it...

Re: deck wax??

I haven't tried any on an excalibur yet but scorpyd venom lube is the best lube I've found. I will be trying it on my 355 soon.

Re: Looking for tested speeds of the matrix 355

I ordered the 355 and added the reds suppressors and cheek piece. I might add the guardian later but wanted to see how much I like the bow before investing anymore money.

Re: Looking for tested speeds of the matrix 355

But Visa expects me to pay them back lol But one bow and two barrels might be an option :) I really feel the 355 is the one I'll order. I'm going to take the weekend to think about it :)

Re: Looking for tested speeds of the matrix 355

Calco, the ADF is a nice feature :) and if you add all the goodies the 380 has its going to be right at the same price. But it does indeed come with a scope. I've not cocked the 355 so I can't personally say, only what others have said. I know I can tell a difference between a vortex and equinox. Th...

Re: Looking for tested speeds of the matrix 355

Newbie, I haven't talked to anyone that has shot both bows say they liked the 380 better. Everyone I've gotten solid feedback from says 355 is the way to go and some of those guys like speed as good as I do :) So to me that speaks volumes. Thats not to say the 380 isn't an awesome bow, I'm talking o...

Re: Looking for tested speeds of the matrix 355

Yes the issue is not strength but shoulder problems. I can cock the 380....I had one :) but my shoulders have also worsened some since then and I've never cocked or shot the 355. From what everyone else has told me there is a noticeable difference in the cocking effort, some difference in noise and ...

Re: Looking for tested speeds of the matrix 355

Whoa I finally got back on here lol I haven't been ignoring any of you I been having password issues. I appreciate all the feedback! I had a 380 and as swamp said I should have kept it I guess lol but with a few shoulder issues it was a tad stiff and a touch louder than I wished it was. However wher...

Re: Looking for tested speeds of the matrix 355

I'd like to be 350fps with a 385gr arrow. I know thats asking a lot but we shall see :-) It will be a while before I can buy one anyway. I appreciate you guys weighing in and if anyone else has done some testing feel free to speak up :)
