Re: So I just could not wait.......!

It's always exciting when you let an arrow fly only a few feet away from your gas furnace

Re: tact zone illumination dial detaches while shooting

I was sceptical at first after reading some of the bad comments and reviews about the tact zone scope, but now that I own a matrix 355 with the tz scope I am actually liking it the more I shoot it.

Re: swhackers?

Last year was the first time I used the Swhacker broadhead , 125 grain. I shot a doe at 18 yards from my ground blind and I have never seen so much blood come out of a lung shot like this. Both blades deployed and it was a pass through shot with an excalibur vortex, the doe ran 30 yards and collapse...

Re: Help with first crossbow - Ibex vs. Matrix

The Matrix 355 is what I just bought recently and I love it. It's compact, light and very accurate. The new matrix line are more narrow that the Exomax or ibex, also stronger limbs and can reach greater speeds. If you are only shooting deer the 355 is perfect, and if you ever decide to do a moose or...

Just bought a matrix 355!

I put this bow together from the box and no joke I only needed 3 shots to get it bullseye from 20 yards, what an amazing product. The only thing I found that wasn't right was the instructional video on how to assemble the bow was Bill Troubridge assembling an Exomax. Shouldn't their be a video for t...

Re: Toronto Sportsman Show

I was at the show Saturday and I can say it really is 90% fishing, 10% hunting. The first time I went was back in 1996 and it really was different. There used to be tons of taxidermy booths, gun and bow shops and a lot of deals. Now it's loaded with fishing,boating and camping gear and very little h...

Re: Tac zone opinions

I just bought a matrix 355 with the tak zone and I find that it's ok, but not the best scope possible. I think they put a different scope on the matrix405 for a reason.

Re: Anyone buy a 380 and wish they had the 355? or the oppos

I'm in the same boat as you, I have a vortex now and want to go into the matrix lineup. Shorter and narrow, I shot the matrix 380 and its great, but really do I need something this fast. I mainly hunt deer, so I think I might just go with the matrix 355 which is more than enough speed . I still have...

Re: matrix blew apart

That's not normal, I've been shooting excalibur crossbows since 2004 and never had anything like that happen. I'll believe it when I see it, PICTURES!

Re: this is the DEADLIEST braadhead made!!!

Watch the video on YouTube for Swhacker broadheads, they test a bunch of different types including Rage, it's real and there is no argument that Swhacker makes a product that outperforms all the rest it was tested against. I shot a doe last weekend and it was the biggest blood trail I've ever seen i...
