I shot one in Kalamazoo last month.  They shot really well and hit pretty hard.  They were pretty dead in the hand.  I really liked them but it just was not what I was in the market for when I was there.  If I remember correctly they are priced well priced.  Hopefully somebody that knows a little more about them can help you out more.

I have one that I like very well it is 57@ 27" it shoots a 530gr arrow 185fps. easy to shoot dead in hand.I own 4 other bows the predator is my go to bow . It,s been my experience that if you like the grip you will be very happy with a predator.

I currently own one. I have two sets of limbs for it. 63lbs@28" and 68lbs@28".(these draw weights are my personal preference) I have several other bows, and while there is nothing wrong with them,my Predator has been my constant companion for 7 yrs now.
It loves heavy wood arrows,but a few yrs ago I switched to carbon because of the durability.
Either set of limbs shoot the same arrow. Blackhawk Carbonwood 5000(65-80lbs). I add weight to my arrows to get them at around 610 grains total. My arrows are almost always in the dirt covered with crimson red after a hit.
This bow is awesome. The arrow sits practically on your hand. Burn a hole with your eye,get to full draw, and smooth release, and its there. They come with a fast flight string, but I shoot dacron because it is so much more quiet. I lose some speed but even with a heavy arrow there is plenty left. It is so quiet, many times after a hit the deer take a few bounds then stop to try to figure out what happened. I watch them go down.
Each set of limbs has launched untold numbers of arrows.
If I suddenly lost this bow for some ungodly, horrible, terrible, unthinkable reason, I would get another just like it. It is showing its age but I ain`t changing anything until I have to.

I am considering a predator or a bob lee, it looks like a tough decision.

I've had one for about a month now, it's the fastest bow that i've ever shot. I'm thinning my collection and would consider selling it to you if your interested it's 60" and 56@28.
