I've been wanting a 380 for a while now and I finally bought one Tuesday. I've put maybe 150 shots (wild guess) through it so far. I shot one at Bass Pro last year that had a terrible trigger but luckily my bow's trigger is pretty nice. I'm using a Danny Miller flemish string and his bumpers, too. I was worried that the bow might be a bit much for me because I'm a small guy (30 years old, 5' 7", 140 lbs). Fortunately I haven't found repeated cocking to be all that bad, but it does hurt my hands enough that I went ahead and ordered a C2 from Wyvern yesterday. The bottom picture is a 40 yard group with 2" Swhackers. I'm shooting 18" BEEs with 92 grain brass inserts and Blazers fletched with the E-Z Fletch Bolt. I'm really liking this bow and looking forward to a good deer season!

Congrats on the bow. You will love it more and more. Especially after you send them swhackers through a nice buck this fall. Swhackers are my second favorite BH just behind the FOC's.

Good luck to you this year and be safe
