Matrix 380 - What are you shooting?

[vinniechains]

I just looked and shot the Matrix 380 yesterday for the first time and like it. I have a question on what you guys are shooting out of it. If I'm interested in shooting Rage retractables, I was told to go to 20" bolts to compensate the lack of weight, since Rage only go up to 125gr.

Has anyone had any experience with shooting these from your Matrix 380?

Your gonna get a lot of different opinion's on this .Everyone has their own nitch how they want the bow to shoot and be accurate.

I myself like heavy bolts with a heavy BH.I love Ke.The more the better .

I shoot broom stick's out of the bow .Big ole heavy set up .
465+ grain's for me.

I don't have a whole lotta speed.But i do have knock down power.Put's them deer slap over to their other side .

I bought a very large number of Beman lightning bolt shafts when they were cheap. They have 100gr brass inserts and luminoks. I cut them down to 18" to use with the 380. Using 125gr shwackers and Luminoks they weigh in at 475gr each, and shoot beautifully.

Never shot Rage Broadheads, nor 20" arrows from my Matrix 380.

I went with Custom (Big John) Black Eagle Executioners, Lumenok rears and brass fronts, cut to 18.5". Tipped with 125 grain Spitfires, they weigh in at 395 grains "dressed".

VERY Accurate, and splits the difference between Speed and Hitting Power. The deer I took with them this past season likely concur that this (for me) is a very good set-up!

So do you find yourself "resighting" in when you switch from practicing with the field points to broadheads?

[Dash]

Usually I would readjust sights for fixed blades if needed, or at least know what the difference in POI is. With schwackers I have no issues though, hit the same as my field point.
