I have the opportunity to pick up a Matrix 380 blackout with less than 200 shots for 675.00
It comes with a hard case, reds, stringing aid, rope cocker, quiver six arrows and a cranking aid.
I’m seriously considering buying it...what say ye...deal or no deal :?:

That's a good deal in my opinion. There are always sales on the "Old" models if you feel like shopping for a while, but the Black ones seem to be harder to get.

Good Luck deciding! :eusa-popcorn:

I agree with the rest. You will love it and well worth the $$$ in my opinion. Mine will probably never have another new owner.

Did yours come with the ADF :?:
I can’t tell if this bow has one from the picture my friend sent me.

With a hard case and cranking aid?!?

Deal!

For those interested, there is used one on eBay with less accessories for $550. Both seem cheap for a 380. If I weren't so sold on the Micro. :lol:

By the way GB, here are the what if speeds from mine and I believe Dans are very close to the same.

I would snap that up! For reference I had an exomax then a micro and traded the micro for a matrix 380. For me the 380 is by far and away the best of the bunch! Absolutely love it and can't see me switching it up!

Thanks for the info :D :D
I’m using 18” BEE’s with 110gr brass inserts for a total weight of 421grs out of my 350. I will use the same out of the 380 so I was thinking I should be in the 355/360fps range 8)
