Those with both the 380 and 400-Arra Query

[amythntr]

....for those of you whom own both the 380 and the 400 do you basically switch off and use the same arra configuration or do you have a special "arra" recipe for the 400?

Might bring the Fulmine Grande up to Maine on vacation with me....kind of a "get to know each other" vacation!

I'm thinking the same arrows could and would be used on both!

I'm shooting 378 grains zombies out of the bulldog 400
my 380 my uncle is using and shooting diablos at 350 grains and is happy with them (I can finally get rid of my stock arrow inventory)
my 405 is shooting 420 grains executioners for now.

Same zombies out of 380 and 400 here.

...that's what I'm thinking of....It's been so long (last year at Boofest to be exact) that I shot my 380 that i don't even remember what arra recipe I am using....BUT whatever it is I am going to give it a whirl.....

... the only changes I am going to make is flip the Crossbones from the 380 to the 400, put on a Munch Mount and switch over to a Boo or NChunterkw string and call in Dr Stirrup to work the magic I have grown to love....I feel with the extra DW, I am going to need all the help I can get.

....I most likely will add some Titanium Bling after all a CB named "The Big Lightning Bolt" has to have his drawing card

The 18" diablows that come with it are a joke. The BD clearly calls for a 19-20" arrow IMO. An 18" arrow is too short.

Congrat for the bow Anthony, notice the rail is 2 inches longer than your M 380, the Drstirrup stirrup is helping a lot to cock the BD. Accordind to my experience with the BD you really need it. Call Gaston he own a BD 400, as Derrick said think about a more longer arrow. I shoot 422 gr total weight with lumenok. Really accurate up to 100 yards.

Maybe come up to my Maine deer camp in November and break it in on a monster buck!

....be careful what you offer....you might just have a visitor up there....first, because Maine is my second home, second because that Buck is what we call in the I-talian neighborhood a "BFB" (figure that out yourself ) and thirdly to "break bread" and have the opportunity to hunt with a fellow Excal owner and forum member....thanks!

I have a M380, BD400 and a M405. I have DrStirrup Stirrups on the 380&405 and a silenced original stirrup on the BD400. However, I held a wrapped, factory stirrup in place to give an idea where the broadhead is. The arrow has a welded shut FOC on it for reference. I see no problem using most broadheads with any of these bows and a 18" arrow.

Wow. That is a no BS monster Buck!!

There's still a need for the M405: at least in Maine and a good bit of the Midwest , and Canada and... However, until then, the BD400 is next best and feels so good!
Yes, the trigger isn't up to the TT in a Matrix ; but the BD400 is a little faster than the M380, better balanced, longer gentler power stroke, shortened a little, limbs less stressed. I think it deserves more attention and respect than it appears to get. I think it is a fast , modern Excalibur with most of the attributes of the older, Excalibur series. I bet if it'd been named the BD385 that it would have received a little less criticism.
Yes, I know a 405 isn't needed for even the largest elk, much less a white tail.
