This is strange, I looked all the back to August 1st and there is not one Micro 335 listed for sale for the last two months in our Trading Post.
Where did you find all these good people you mention? I have not seen this trend.
You have a awesome Excalibur Micro 335 and the model is very popular. Shoot in confidence!

It is no news that Excalibur had a batch run (out of their control) regarding limbs subjected to higher limb coating temperatures and issues resulted. This issue was fixed long ago.

Each model is different in some way and each model performs differently. Each fit the buyer in ways (and for purposes) that only they, as an individual, can fully understand. All of them are very reliable and solid performers though. If you like the Micro better than the Matrix series, then you have made the ideal decision for yourself, one that fits your particular needs the best! Simple as that...

No worries, shoot the bow that fits you best with a suitable cocking force as suggested in many prior posts.

The sky is not falling. :lol: :lol:

You made a good choice if the Micro fills your needs. Others prefer the size and performance of a Matrix :wink: .That's where the word Choice comes into play. :D

If you look at my "Signature" you will see I have a Micro 335 as well as two Matrix models..... I'm happy with all three depending on the hunting conditions and game animals they will be used for.....

None are for SALE.

I saw where ed traded his and anthony is conserding his under new gear. Also wildcaitter said hed never own another another under micro vs matrix
If I understood the context of Anthony's statement correctly then he is only fooling around with the idea that he needs another of the "latest and greatest" Excalibur model to try on... Look, the man has a handful already!

Wildcatter likes his Matrix bows more than he liked his Micro because the Matrix meets his individual needs and performance requirements better. His is an individual choice, just as mine was an individual choice, just as yours was an individual choice.

If every humans' needs and requirements were met with just one model we would ALL be shooting the same old Fred Bear Tigercat recurve or perhaps a longbow model preceding those!

I have a similar case of buyers remorse. Mine happened at the moment of sale after I had thoroughly tested a 405 and had made up my mind that the 405 was the best model of crossbow (for me) on the planet! In those final moments I decided to play for a life on a safer edge (because of limb failure rumors) and opted for the 380. That was a mistake... not because the 380 is a lessor model (this one shoots like the rail extends all the way to the target!), but because I didn't have the fortitude to stick with my well analyzed plan!

You have an opportunity to enjoy your Micro like no one else can. Show up with a good attitude and shoot the snot out of it every chance you get. Then come back here and explain to me in detail why you are convinced that it was a poor choice of equipment...

First, I think the Micro 335 Nightmare is the best looking crossbow out there. Second, it's an awesome bow for close quarter hunting. Third, it feels very solid at the shot. It's a fun bow to shoot and is highly effective. Hard to beat that combo.

Wildcatter never said I didn't think the Micro was a good bow, I said I like the bigger Matrix series better at 6'2" 285# might have something to do with it.

I also said a year ago the Micro 335 was the easiest bow to shoot offhand I ever owned. Don't read into what others say what ain't said!!

We have some that prefer the EXO Series and have no intent in owning the other two, I don't think that means I screwed up,,, I also don't think they did,,, :wink:

Enjoy yer new bow, the only thing I would suggest is have a couple more!!!
