Note of interest: My brother just got his Matrix back from Double Bull. He sent it to them to have the light weight carbon rods and new hubs installed. It was the regular Matrix when he sent it to them, but was the Recurve height when he received it back from them! I called Double Bull and found out that both models use the same shell. The only difference is the rod length.
The blind is longer now when packed for carrying, but it doesn't seem to be heavier. Probably cause he went from fiberglass rods to the lighter carbon rods. It is lighter than my Recurve model with the fiberglass rods, but not enough difference to me to pay the money for the carbon rods. ( I don't plan on packing the blind in more that 3/4 miles).
