I can shoot with both eyes open and watch the bolt fly. Only problem with it is doesn't let any light in at dark and can be too dark to shoot before legal time.

Single cross hair on a 380 would shoot almost like a rifle I'd have to think can't be much drop at 50 yards? 10in or so drop? Think still leaning towards micro maybe with the tact zone scope just because I know the dealer wI'll have them.

If you don't mind spending a bit more on a scope take a look @ the Leupold VXR scopes. A few of us have them and they have the best of both worlds. Red dot with crosshair and great light gathering. Win win win!!

My vote would be for the Matrix 355 ! Best of both worlds while being a bow you can shoot all day long and at extended range if need be.

You have heard about the Micro 355 that's to be released as a 2016 model right? :?:

I would wait if I just had to have a Micro and as a side effect with the research it recieved during development, it may have less limb issues than being experienced by current Micros, and still give you a bow that shoots very close to the 380.... :wink:

A win ,win to me.

If you will be mainly hunting with it the 380 will be nice, but for an afternoon of practicing a 355 would be a lot easier on you and is still big enough to take down any deer, bear, elk, and any moose you want to hunt. For grizzly or moose I might carry a little insurance though. :wink:

hawke XB30 scope, in low light it's the best. I had a big deer last season get by me at dusk dark I could see with naked eye, he stood broad side and I couldn't see him through cheap scope. I thought I still had scope covers on. I should have known better about optics as I have Swarovski and leupold on my rifles. I have a matrix 330 and love it, still working on setup.
