After the M405 was introduced, a # of people began to think that >400’/sec rating out of a Matrix was a bridge too far. I had 2 and both had limb cracks at the riser. I think this was more of a design problem of riser pockets/limb design.
FWIW, my BD400 was at least 20’/sec slower than the M405, which , also, didn’t make 405 with 350gs. And , this was with the ultra light factory, non-Flemish string. The “improved” limbs added 10-15’/sec to my BD’s speed
However, now with the “improved” limbs plus a properly shaped limb pocket, I think that the M405 would actually get 405/350 or even a little more. If so, I think the M405 would be Excalibur’s fastest, reliable crossbow. I’m somewhat wishing I still had one of my 2 405s to do this with.
Just some thoughts.
