Re: Excalibur Matrix 380 issue
The guy that sold me the strings is a regular on here. I see now that right after I posted my original question that he went back and tried deleting our messages back and forth. Pretty shady buddy. Makes me want to call you out for making a crappy string that could have destroyed my bow. I've been i...

Re: Excalibur Matrix 380 issue
I ordered a factory string and put it on. Immediately my issues quit. I bought 2 strings from this forum. I'm not here to bad mouth anyone, so I won't say any names, but it was 100% a string issue. Based on the difference in appearance, I'd say the two I had purchased from this forum were too thick....

Re: Excalibur Matrix 380 issue
So I went out and took a brand new arrow and a brand new nock. First shot hit bullseye. I hoped that was the problem. Next two shots the arrow practically left the crossbow sideways! I've ordered a new string. Everything was lined up correctly. String was flush against the nock. Everything looked an...

Re: Excalibur Matrix 380 issue
I've checked to see that I'm tight to the string. I noticed one nock has a slightly round spot where I likely hit it with another arrow while shooting at some point. Another has a tiny nick. I am going to start by getting new nocks. I'll see if I can make that happen tomorrow and post results.

Re: Excalibur Matrix 380 issue
Everything is solid. I'm still stuck on the nocks. Were you implying i needed new nocks or that the arrows hadn't been cut squarely. Just curious as I try to trouble shoot the issue.

Re: Excalibur Matrix 380 issue
The nocks are messed up or the nock ends? I've shot these arrows for years and just recently begun having issues. I bought new strings last year at some point from a maker on here. I don't recall when I put the string on and when I began having issues.

Re: Excalibur Matrix 380 issue
I'm not saying you aren't right. I considered that myself. Why did all arrows start doing this all at once?

Excalibur Matrix 380 issue
Last year I noticed with broadheads that my arrows would dive violently into the ground about 10 yards out. I assumed it was a planing issue. I shot a few mechanicals and it seemed everything was okay. Now about 5/10 shots seem to fly out crazy and dive with field points, broadheads, mechanicals, wh...

Re: Stirring the pot...Broadhead opinion
I have used Rage since 2009. In that time period I've harvested 33 deer and lost only 1. The one I lost surprised me. I thought I had made a double lung hit. Blood was fantastic for 200 yards, and then immediately nothing. I don't know if I hit high and caught 1 lung or just couldn't find her or wha...

Re: String broke on shot
It broke where the loop joined the main string I believe, but it really exploded. The loop is gone. And good to know about twisting and untwisting. I’d read on here somewhere to do a half twist at a time on both sides. And that string was old...3 years worth of shooting. Couple hundred shots a year.

How do you do it without posting the link? I thought that was the only option. Guess I wasn't as successful as I thought.
