The shelf on the Predator is pretty narrow, more than the Bear.

MY Buddy Chris Spikes hunted with a predator for years. It was a killer. He is one of the best shots I have ever seen in real life. The bow was very fast. RC

Chris  you may be putting too much pressure on the top finger of your string hand when you shoot split.Or pulling too much with it.You could also be pushing down on the nock a bit with your top finger possibly?

Try and pull and put more of the load on your middle finger and don't let your top finger push down on the nock.Your drawing elbow may possibly be cocked a little high causing your top finger to push down on the nock as well.You want an even and parrelel pull.Something to think about.

One thing you can try with split is to use a double nocking point.One below and one above the arrow.The bottom nock will keep the arrow from being pushed down by the top finger.Alot of guys like the double nock point.

Been shooting with double nock point since I started shooting trad. Also switched anchors from index to middle finger,  trying to alleviate the issues pointed out. No luck with split so far.  
On another note,  went to the range yesterday for a few hours and all I can say is I am highly convinced I can shoot better 3 under. Group's size cut in half at least,  and way more consistent on my first shot,  the one that really counts while hunting. I'm really liking the perceived benefits of 3 under right now.

Slowly building my savings for a predator right now,  just had a large side job fall thru for the spring,  so it's going to take awhile with my wife in nursing school.
Thanks again to everyone for the info, and I apologize for getting off topic,  I hate losing my train of thought.
60% of the time,  it works every time
