well my middleton 355 arrived, and i was impressed with the way it was packed. each piece was individualy wraped with large bubble wrap, and after unwraping all the components my first impressions are as follows. the finish was dipped in next 1 and was flawless, the scope was in my opion the best ive seen at 6x power i never had a scope with or used one with that much eye relief. even at dusk i still could see clear with out useing the red or green illumination. after assembling the bow i went out in my yard and picked up a couple pieces of 3/8 plywood and placed them a foot apart. needless to say the bolt went through both pieces. i am so glad i went with the 355 vs the 375, as the 355 is all i can handle. the draw curve took a couple of shots to figure out. but now i can draw the bow within 10 seconds. the best way to describe the proformance is simpily raw power and proformance. i think that is one of the things derrick sought out for and well mission accomplinshed. so far the bow gets a 10 out of a 10. i dont bost on companies as a fan boy but will however state the facts as i see them about products and well derrick in my opion is the cream of the crop. i also put the trigger and saftey through the test and both function as designed and stated. this weekend im heading to my archery shop to do some chrono and buy some bolts and reapers. special thanks to derrick for a product that does what it was made to do.

You made a very smart choice !!! If you are a, "dead serious" hunter than you could not ask for a better xbow. Pure, raw power,one tuff , well constructed xbow.!!!!!!! Good Luck, and good hunting !! Need help with anything, just ask!!

I would expect 325 fps, I included a link with a chart showing various weights and some competitive models.

Your website gives the 2010 MSRP prices. Are the 2011 prices the same as 2010?

Hi looking to get a dtm315 but due to stocking issues I could end up w/ 355, but also wanted as option for wife who is now pulling 50# matthews and wondering how is the draw with cocking rope on these for a shorter, weaker hunter? I saw the rope cocking cheat video middleton made and that seems like it would be a great help?
