Re: Overall xbow weight or mass.

I had the opportunity to shoot the 308 at the Archer's Nook in London, Ontario over the weekend. It is a nice lightweight, compact and balanced bow. It would be great for someone covering a lot ground especially in dense bush. I could point it at the target no problem one handed, which I can't say t...

Re: Excalibur Bigfoot Stirrup

Thanks Anthony would do but the stirrup I purchased is the new one made by Excalibur. I've never seen a Dr. Stirrup set up in real life but am interested. How are they when the bow is on your shoulder? Are they handy in a treestand?

Re: Excalibur Bigfoot Stirrup

Wish I read this post before I opened the package. Same deal with my Matrix 350se - the Bigfoot Stirrup contacts the air brakes and cannot be installed. The picture on the package is a bow complete with air brakes so I'm a bit puzzled. I'd need a to file it at a significant angle to clear the air br...

Re: What Excal to buy?

I wouldn't close the door on a Matrix. I have a Matrix 350, it's an awesome bow and its 240 lb pull isn't bad to cock and uncock. If it wasn't such a sweet deal I likely would have gone for the 330 Matrix. Plenty fast and a 220lb draw. Hopefully you can find somewhere to try out a few different bows...

Re: Matrix 350 support group

I went out last fall certain I'd come back with a Micro 355. I was very fortunate to meet an outdoors store employee and Matrix 330 hunter who had me try every Excal they had. In short he explained how they all do the job, and finding what's comfortable physically and financially is most important. ...

Matrix 350 support group

I love my 350LE. It's reliable, consistent and ridiculously accurate, much more so than its owner. Looks amazing too. Twice this week in two different shops people thought I was mistaken when I said I had a 350LE. One of them even previously sold them! So I've pretty much had to tell the tale of the...

Re: Diablo Shaft Outer Diameter For Zwickey Scorpio

Ever get anywhere with matching the Scorpio and Diablo? I'm trying to figure out the same thing. Turkey time is approaching fast, but not fast enough!
