Re: Mega Matrix 405

I started out trading a Mathew’s DXT for an Exomax for my first crossbow. I sold it after getting my 405. I regret getting rid of it now, just can’t make my mind up on what I want for a second crossbow now. Shouldn’t have sold the first Exomax. If the Exomax package had a twilight scope on it the de...

Re: Mega Matrix 405

I have also found a new exomax lite stuff package for $700. It was a trade show demo...guess I will have to decide which one I want the most 405, 400, or exomax.

Mega Matrix 405

I have found a matrix 405 at a dealer that has not been sold yet. I can get it for $950. I have one already and love it. I have been looking at getting a bulldog 400 when I came across the 405. What would you guys do?

Re: Letting Them Walk

Thanks for the advice. Very few monsters around here to worry about. Just waiting for mature deer. I have hunted with a vertical bow for years and am aware of shot placement. Shoulder problems caused me to try something a little different. I am currently in the stand and have let 3 spikes and a smal...

Re: Letting Them Walk

Good job trapping the coyotes. They overrun this area as well. Used to be a buck a day here from October 15 start of bow season until the end of January the end of gun season. The last few years we could kill a doe a day as well. Now it is 3 bucks a year, one 4 points on one side or better. 5 does a...

Re: Letting Them Walk

Mature body size is all I look for. We don't have many real big racks in this area. The older they get helps with the rack size though.

Letting Them Walk

Ever since I have been hunting with my 405 I have been seeing small bucks and a few small does. I had a chance to shoot a big doe right at dark yesterday evening at last light but let her walk due to family obligations. Could have gotten by with skipping out if I would have shot one of the bigger bu...

Re: What to buy

If anyone still wants a new 405 American Archery Supply still has some on clearance. They also have them listed on ebay. Delivery was fast but I am only one state over from them.

Re: What to buy

Finally got a day off and got my mega 405 sighted in with the diablo bolts. As my luck would have it, my bolts and broad heads I had ordered from South Shore was delivered just after dark. I will be in the stand with the diablos in the morning and get sighted in with my new setup when I return. So f...

Re: What to buy

Crossbow came in today. I will assemble it when I get off work in the morning. Called South shore archery and ordered some 20 inch zombie slayers with 110 grain inserts and an assortment of 125 grain fixed blade broadheads to try. I plan to get the scope dialed in with the 18 inch Diablo until the p...
