My Matrix 355

Post by tommybobusa »

Today was the first chance that I had to shoot My new Matrix 355 , I am not new to Crossbows but..... OMG , I once owned a Excalibur Exocet and most recently a pre slit limb Parker Tornado but never shot a Crossbow as nice as This one . I hooked up My 355 with a Nikon XR 3x Scope and I am using Black Eagle 18 inch executioners tipped with 100 field points . My 1st shot was at 10 yards which was out of the box was 1 inch high and 1/2 inch left .After the proper adjustments My 2nd bolt hit the 1/4 inch bull's-eye dead center . I retrieved the bolt , wouldn't dare shot a second one at the same target . I then moved the target out to 20 yards and after the one at a time 2nd shot in the same 1/4 inch bull I moved the target to 30 yards . Guess what ,I aimed the scope to the first 30 yard circular reticle at the Bull and at 30 My group only opened up to about 1/2 inch . All shots taken were from a bench , the first thing I noticed was the nice trigger that My 355 has , another thing I noticed was that Its not much harder to load than was My Tornado , I have been reading and was considering a single stage trigger but don't see the need because in a hunting situation I won't be shooting past 30 yards anyway so why fix something thats not broke .Next chance I get I will give it a try at 40 ,50 and 60 yards just for fun .All in All I am delighted with My purchase and All the Tips that I picked up on this Forum which lead Me to the equipment choices that I made . Thank You Everyone for All the Good Info .

Congrats on the new bow. They are amazing. I've been shooting my 380 now for a couple of months and I still get that WOW feeling every time I go to the range. Last time there, I met a guy who was considering buying one. I let him shoot mine once. Dead center at 30 yards. I think I made a sale :D
