I have a Matrix 355 and stopped into my local bow shop and bought the REDS system. The supplied set screws are slightly smaller then the thread on the xbow. As a result they just spin in the threaded hole.
Definitely a machining defect on the bow. Both set screw holes oversized.

A simple phone call to Dawn @ Excalibur will set this straight in a hurry!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

They are the same threads as the ones that hold the quiver bracket to the main frame.

Re: R.E.D.S. Supplied Set Screws Wrong Threading
It sounds like the wrong size screws were mistakenly packaged with your R.E.D.S. Please call Dawn 800-463-1817 ext. 204 and she will get you the correct size set screws. Sorry for the problem.
