Re: Stress lines or cracks?

I may be wrong as I am not a chemist or engineer, but the way the fibres are layed for maximum strength it would be impossible to have smooth flawless limbs without them splintering. Being interwoven like that you would weaken limbs if you abraded one single bundle. Pressed, cooked, and camo'd is t...

Stress lines or cracks?

So I just got my new Matrix 330 yesterday. Was put together in front of me from an unopened box. I test fired two bolts with the bow tech who put it together. Everything seemed normal.

Re: Matrix 330

That is a great price for a new 330 package but if you would like a little more speed and basically the same cocking force you can pick up a brand new 350 LE package off eBay for $550 and get the full camo too. I own both and my 350 is my go to bow. I already have a 350SE. I was going to ask if the...

Re: Matrix 330

Yeah that's wht I was thinking. I don't really need it. But I'm in a position at the time where I can. And opportunities like this are far and few between. So... I will be adding another to my Excalibur family. Thanks for the input.
