who's ordering a new xbow?

Post by paulaboutform »

Sooo....who's ordering a new bow and what are you ordering? I couldn't help myself, I've got a Mega 405 on order and can't wait till February to get my hands on it. I'm thinking of putting an HHA Optimizer on it just to try it out and play with some stretched out ranges. :D :mrgreen:

That's awesome! I've been a vertical bow hunter for years and due to some particular features in the Woods I hunt, I saved up and decided to get a cross bow. We have a lot of Ashe Trees that drop leaves early, so ground hunting is something I needed to really tap into and a few spots back there would really lend towards the cross bow. I toiled with the decision for weeks back and forth and finally decided to treat myself to the Matrix 380... So excited to get it dialed in! The very next day (january 2nd) I went to just look at it again for fun and saw the 405!!! Just missed it!!!

I'm happy w the Matrix 380 .. But there is something about the 330 that appeals to me (size & weight). Then again a 405 sounds good too!

I was planning on buying the Matrix 355. I even bought custom strings and baby bumpers for it. Well...............I discovered KODABOW. Been researching and watching all the videos I can on them and now I am leaning really really hard towards a KODABOW. Time will tell. Never seen one personally, only in pictures. Going talk to them and shoot one at the upcoming show in Harrisburg Pennsylvania. If I like the feel and the handling of one I am going to pull the trigger and get it.

Lucky dog.That 330 looks like a sweet little bow but I love the camo work on the 405.

I think this is the year for an upgrade myself. Selling the 5 year old Vortex and getting the 405 by spring. Plus all of the fun accessories - Triggertech, custom Boo string, and Big John arrows....ugh...where's my chequebook?!?!

Ordering? I figured that as many people that are worried about Bowtech, someone would just be willing to give me a 380. :lol: :D

Seriously, I am hoping to get a 380. Will probably be several months before I will have the funds available. My wife had a stroke a fw months ago, and we are working through some things, ya a few months, minimum......RR
