New Matrix 355

Post by Milan »

And here it is, my 3rd excalibur, Matrix 355. I'll keep this one :) I had Exocet 200 and Vortex. It's small, compact and light, I think it's a bit easier to cock it than previous 200# Excal. Trigger is the best! Almost no creep and light, I like it very much :)...I have to says it's quite loud, even with "reds" - but this won't affect on my target shooting :) I kinda don't like the thumb hole - "palm rest" on M355 (it was better on previous line of Excals)...but those rubber grips are nice. Overall, I like it very much :)

Here are few chrono readings(stock matrix string + reds):
481 gr. - 312 fps
444 gr. - 320 fps
402 gr. - 334 fps
374 gr. - 341 fps
352 gr. - 351 fps

Was shooting some 40yds distance today. I can say this thing is very accurate. I was shooting GT laser II, 18", 372grains right at 340fps and I was getting like "same hole" group with 3 arrows, can't get better than this While shooting it from a bench, I noticed that the trigger has quite some creep, but still can hit a fly with it I am very happy with it! The bow is a real shooter :)

Congrats!!! Love mine!! It amazes me how accurate it is. You definetly have to spread your shots around because it is so accurate you will ruin all your arrows. Mine shoots less than 1" consistantly at 50 yards. Haven't tried it any further because my yard just isn't big enough. Really like the scope on mine too. Very clear.

Deerstalker,

That's a HHA speed dial optimizer, you can shoot with it at any distance between 20 - 80 yds (check their web page, you tube if you're interested). I use it only for target shooting and it's great! I am not sure if it is very practical for hunting...
