X2 on this... Nothing wrong with the Micro series of bows, but I feel for me the 380 holds better, feels more stable on the shot and is a bit faster.... I actually just sold off both Micro's to fund another 380 and two Vortex XBR scopes....
I have a 330, Micro 335, and a 380. I shoot the 380 significantly better than the other 2 bows. The Micro is nice and handy, but for me shooting offhand, the 380 balances much better - there is just enough weight in front to settle it down.
I have a Munch mount on the Micro and the 380, and one on order for the 330; I'm hoping it adds enough weight to steady it as well. If so, the Micro might end up for sale.

The 380 although a fine model crossbow isn't as small nor as easy to use out of a tree facin stand n not have trouble wid limb clearance. Mind you i face away in my Hang-On stands. But my old Amacker you faced the tree n it will give you fits tryin to keep from hittin the tree itself
Personal preference.... That's the bottom line. The few inches in width and length, of the M-380 and the M-355 for me anyhow is a no issue. For me i'm done i have all the crossbow i will ever need. I can understand the excitement for the latest and newest technology in Excalibur crossbows, and if money is of no real concern hell i'd own a few. That new Bulldog being top dog..Smile. Keep the M-380. Along with the M-355 Matrix. The best of the best....

....now have 3-335, 380 and 400....400 has yet to be configured w/crossbones,TTT and DrS... Once done I can see myself whittling down to 2 keepers...the tough, tough question will be which one will go...right now it's just time to enjoy them all....I, like Bubba, feel that I have all I ever need! I definitely do not see myself as a collector, either from a space, practicality or money perspective!

So far 23 to 3 in favor of the 380 Blackout. Hmmmm
Kind of liking the looks of the Bulldog too, however, not for speed reasons as my 380 is pretty near a 400fps bow with my hunting setup anyway. Need to go shoulder a few I guess.
Well ya see Mike, I just traded for a Red TT trigger lever and I will just have to wait and see her in all her sexiness. Red/Red-Black String and Red trigger ... she is gonna look sweeet!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

My Summit 180 max you can face tree also..I only use it in gun season as leaves are off trees then and tree makes a nice rest for muzzleloader ...Summits have a nice THICK padded rail to lay your bow on while taking a nap..
