Re: Arrow recovery at high speeds hunting?
Ok thanks, I appreciate the honesty. I hunt in Rainforest areas, very soft, and some hunting in drier areas out west were the ground is harder. I am assuming a bolt is a 'potential write off' each time its fired then.

Arrow recovery at high speeds hunting?
Hi guys wondering what the recovery rate of arrows is after shooting at game with 350+ speeds. Are you 380 hunters generally expecting to recover/extract them? Reason I ask is deciding between lower or higher power bow.In Aus I might be hunting a dozen hogs a month.(We don't have the variety of trop...

Re: Removing matrix limbs for storage
Thanks for the replies, so this is in fact the done thing for transporting the bow anyway, that's good news,

Re: Removing matrix limbs for storage
Thankyou sir that is an easier solution then and will save me some money replacing my safe if I get the 380 I am looking at.
Also wondered is the changes to zero usually significant when this is done?

Removing matrix limbs for storage
Hi guys may be dumb q but is it practical to take limbs on and off a matrix in order to fit in my gunsafe? My state laws changed since last time I owned a crossbow and require secure storage. I'd rather not get a wider safe if I can make do delimbing the crossbow. Having not owned a matrix before no...

Re: Hunting range with 300-310fps velocities?
My post related to 300-310fps at the firing end, not downrange. The figures were to take into account slightly heaiver 375-400 grain arrows out of the 330fps rated bow.

Re: Hunting range with 300-310fps velocities?
Thanks guys for the replies. More speed might be a better idea then. Being in oz the game is hogs, goats and possibly some donkeys and wild cattle if I get lucky. Nothing with great reflexes I don't think :) These are all pests in plague proportions and outcompete or eat our native animals. I'll tak...

Re: Hunting range with 300-310fps velocities?
I was going to add to my post please answer only if you do shoot to 50 yards, to save this being derailed to a another topic. Its a trajectory comparison question, thanks if it could be viewed as such.

Hunting range with 300-310fps velocities?
Hi guys just wondering if I bought an xbow set up for actual velocities of 310fps, what is the maximum useful range? I am trying to talk myself into getting something like a matrix 330 rather than a matrix 380. But I would like to shoot some things out to 50 yards or so. Unrealistic with the lighter...

Re: confusion over models
Hmm good point..
Thanks for most of the rest of the information. As to failure rates of short vs old ones I am not completely convinced having listened to long term users of both. Also the 405 has not exactly enjoyed the same production life as the exomag.

confusion over models
guys is there a topic or link discussing the new bows in comparison to each other? For example I am trying to work out the following- .Is the 400 the same limbs as the rest of the matrix line? 2.Do the 315, 335 and 355 micro have the same limbs? And if so how did they get the 355 to work when the 33...

Re: scope/system for 100 yards with a 380
Thanks. yep i understand what you mean about trajectory. from long range rifle experience I know how things can drop like a stone past certain ranges. Incidentally I have been playing around with http://www.handloads.com/calc/index.html ballistic calculators. Going off the drop and velocities shown ...

Also do you fellas have range finders mounted for that shooting?
