Matrix 355 FPS stock
New member. Just bought Matrix 355. What is the "out of the box" all standard fps? Not inclined to change things, but just curious.

Re: Matrix 355 FPS stock
With the stock string( it's a fast string) and 350 grain arrows you will shoot very close to advertised speed with your 355. When the 355 first came out several members actually got a fps or two more than advertised .
Re: Matrix 355 FPS stock
Thanks, Are the Diablo arrows and 150 grain field tip about 400 grains? Is the stock string as fast as the Flemish string?flightattendant100 wrote:With the stock string( it's a fast string) and 350 grain arrows you will shoot very close to advertised speed with your 355.

Re: Matrix 355 FPS stock
Carey, welcome aboard... Yes I believe the Diablo arrows with the 150 grain field points are much closer to 400 grains than they are to the 350 grain completed arrows for testing speed. Figure about a 1 foot per second loss for every 3 grains over the 350 grain test arrow.
Probably figure in the mid 330's with a 400 grain arrow.

Here is mine with a heavy Flemish string, 383 total grain Zombie Slayers. Welcome to Team 355.

Re: Matrix 355 FPS stock
I am a little confused regarding strings i,e, flemish, heavy flemish, BCY Dynaflight 97 ? Can you explain difference in fps with each? thanksxcaliber wrote:Here is mine with a heavy Flemish string, 383 total grain Zombie Slayers. Welcome to Team 355.

Re: Matrix 355 FPS stock
From my understanding..... and I might be wrong.....but it comes down to the finished weight of a given string.. A thick heavy string will weigh more physically and have more drag on the rail whereas a thinner string weighs less and probably has less drag on the rail making it faster. That's my interpretation anyway..
Thicker/more strands bulkier material, weights more = slower string.
Thinner/less strands, less mass weight = faster string.

Re: Matrix 355 FPS stock
Roughly for every 3 grains added to the string or arrows one can subtract 1 fps in the Matrix series.
A thinker heavier string will have a better contact patch to the nock leading to better accuracy and more string strands do absorb shock better and reduce vibration some.

Is the Dyna String that comes with the bow considered a heavy or light string?Normous wrote:Roughly for every 3 grains added to the string or arrows one can subtract 1 fps in the Matrix series.

Re: Matrix 355 FPS stock
On a scale I find the stock string lighter.

Re: Matrix 355 FPS stock
It is lighter, but honestly I don't weigh the strings. I was using a 32 strand string made with Rhino material. Flemish Strings have double the strand count in the loops than Endless Loop strings do.

Re: Matrix 355 FPS stock
My 355 out of the box with the supplied Diablo arrows and 150 grain tips are averaging 346 fps. My micro 335 stock out of the box averaged 322 fps. I find the micro a bit quieter. Both are impressive at 60 yards in accuracy.
