What for bolts are you shooting and what length and gr tip. Just wondering what you found is working best for you I have a m380 but I guess it dont matter what you are shooting.

I shoot a Matrix 380 with 18 inch BEE bolts that have a 90 grain brass insert topped off with 100 grain Montec Broadheads. There is no difference in field point and broadhead flight out to fifty yards. I usually like experimenting with different combinations, however with this result I see no need to mess up what is working so well.

No more 18's for me. In the 405 I'm shooting 20" BE arrows, 100gr tips, 420gr total. 330 I'm shooting 19.5", 92gr inserts and 100gr tips for about 400gr total. For me the longer arrows shot better.
