Thanks guys,

Catter, I've been scouring the net for a good deal on a 380 for awhile and when I came across that bow and for the price, from that seller, well, it was a no brainer...

The 380 will become my primary and my Nightmare will be my backup and my daughter can have her bow back....lol

Waiting on two of DM's orange and black flemish strings to round out the bow

Man these things are addicting!!!!!!

Any particular reason the 380 isn't the backup?

LOL.... I think i'm covered now for a bit..

Primarily just because of the speed increase and because it is new to me... Nothing wrong with the Micro though... If I can have controlled speed and accuracy, it's a win/win..

Easily understood when you own both,,,,,

I really like my Micro,,, but if I only owned one bow,,,, it would be my 380 Mad Max,,,, they are unbelievably accurate, and I am talking what they do past 50 and 70 yards,,, and will do anything any bow can do inside 40 yards,, long short range, and size weight,,, just an all round bow you have to own and shoot to understand I geuss!!

I bought a 380 slightly used and love it . my 355 is resting now , she is under the covers in the spare bed room . let me tell you the 380 is deadly accurate , can't wait to let er fly at a deer. I will not buy another Excalibur either

LOL....

I've come to understand that resistance is futile... No will power..

The 380 seems to draw smoother than my Micro and seems less harsh on the shot... Or it could be that "new car smell"..

....DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT pick up an older IBEX!

Was that on eBay and Craigslist awhile back? Right after I bought my 380 from Wyvern, I saw a guy selling a 380 for about the same price. He had it for a year, and shot it very little. If I would have had the cash I would have bought it as a second bow. Good score, you stole it!

Lol. I grabbed it off a guy over on AT. Then I made him an offer he could'nt refuse!!!!

Did some scouting this morning and moved a stand, then came home and sighted in the Matrix 380.. Installed a TT, and a DM flemish string..

Zero'ed at 20 yards with field tips, then moved back to 40 yards and got my marks at 40 and 50 with the FP's.. Moved back to 20 and screwed on a Ramcat and bang, center mass, moved back to 40 and the same thing, in the middle. Then I moved out to 50 yards and shot the Ramcat at 50......In The Middle.. .. I think I have a new favorite bow...

Here she is ready to hunt tomorrow..




And the Ramcat at 50 yards:
