Out for a bit today!

Post by xcaliber »

Got all the work done for one day and decided to get out to shoot for a bit. Took the 380 Matrix & 355 Micro to sight in. Had a blast! Checked the fit of a 22" arrow box with the new Micro Case, and BAM! Took some shots, but the wind was 22 MPH sideways, so just short stuff today! 30 yards 380 off hand! 8)

Steve, these are Zombie Slayers, .003" with NAP Quick Spin 3" shrink on vanes, non indexed. I was surprised at the lack of wear of the shrink wraps considering I used them with the 380 & 355. I also shot my 409 grain Black Eagle Z/S .003" with Fusion 2" shield cuts, no difference to speak of really. 125 grain points 80 grain inserts, and aluminum Black Eagle rear nocks. 16.75" on the carbon!

Great shooting Dan!
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.

Sounds like fun dan . Its been windy raining and crappy n now cold for today. Seems like rain every weekend is the norm now since the start of turkey season like a broken record. Even too crappy to fish today for even me. Monday is here now the sun is shining lol.Practice ln crappy conditions is not all bad . It shows what your stuff can and wont do for sure. Looks like your good for sure.

eBay. The small one will not fit the Matrix but 30-06 makes several models. The Matrix is sitting in a Tarantula case.
