a few newbie questions

Post by BrotherRon »

I will be purchasing a Matrix 330 in a couple weeks and have a few questions :)
What is the best weight and length bolts to use for deer hunting?
How many yards will this bow shoot and still be accurate?
Do the bolt broadheads fly the same as target points, or will I need to re-sight it?
Do the fancy strings everyone talks about lose accuracy with more speed?
Do I need two different targets for field tips and broadheads?

Thanks for your patience with a newbie :mrgreen:

My opinion: 18" 400gr.

Farther than it's ethical to take a shot.
Do the bolt broadheads fly the same as target points, or will I need to re-sight it?
Varies from........you'll have to check it, re-check every time you swap to a diff bhead. welcome to xbows, lol.
Do the fancy strings everyone talks about lose accuracy with more speed?
no......there's very little diff in strings, most people shoot factory and don't know about this forum.
Do I need two different targets for field tips and broadheads?
Not really if you get an 18-1. When you tire of pulling field points from it, get a bag. Do not try bheads in a bag target.
