The Matrix Grizzly. $599

I had one, it was nice a compact, fast and easy to shoot. The only reason I got rid of it is I have a perfectly good Excalibur Equinox.
Equinox is the one on the left, Grizzly right.
These Excaliburs are a simple recurve design. No wheels no cables. Can change a string in seconds. Best of all made in Canada!
