Arrows for my Matrix

[Archer Ontario]

will be hunting deer bear and moose with my new Matrix 380.
i am troubled on what arrows to get ?
and do i stay 18 or 20 ?
i am reading alot of members posts and trying to figure out
can i get some input here ?

What is wrong with the Diablos? They should be in good supply within a few weeks. What have you tried? What broadhead do you plan to use? Are you shooting the factory string? Lots of variables, but what it boils down to is what flies best out of your bow. Cheers

I think in a earlier post Bill T said he used the 18" Diablo out of his M380 to take a nice Ontario moose. The Diablo went in though the shoulder then angled through the body and exiting the opposite hip. I have shot the following out of my M380 so far:

18' Diablos - factory 2" vane
18" 2219 Al. - Blazers
19" 2216 Al. - Blazers
20" 2219 Al. - Blazers
20" GTII - Blazers
20" Maxima Hunter - Blazers
20" Executioner - factory 4" vanes

All seven of the above shot well and I would not hesitate to use either of the above arrows confidently.

The Diablo's are a rebadged cut down firebolt they put a longer 38 gr. aluminum insert instead of the 22-23gr. that's in the firebolt. My only diablo weighed 250 or 252 gr. ( no tip ). Been a while since I weighed it and it is now reconfigured .

Well,....start shooting Archer Ontario.

thoses Diablos seem awful light for moose and deer ?
am i wrong?

[Normous]

Your joking right? 112.3 lbs of kinetic energy out of a M380 using a 350 grain Diablo!
last I read was the Ont record Moose was taken with a Vixen and got a full pass through using a 375 grain arrow. Arrow kept on traveling and never was found.

Mate I would take a shot at 60 yards on and sized game here, 350 grain (including bone cutter) you clearly don't get the true power of this beast.
