Got bit by the Predator bug at Kzoo
« on: February 01, 2009, 08:36:00 PM »
I shoot alot of lefty bows at Kzoo Saturday.I read alot of great things about Ron Pittsley's Predator bows. Had to shoot one. 3 arrows and I was hooked. When a bow fits your hand perfectly and shoots right where you point it, its time to buy it! Shedua and bubinga woods in the riser with a purpleheart stripe and shedua lims, 51@28, fastest 51   lb bow I've ever shot, and its dead quiet to. ok, I'm not buying anymore bows              :D            . Had a great time at kzoo, cant wait till next year!

They did say they could down size the handle some to fit my smaller hand if I got one later so that will let me sleep tonight.  :)   I kept thinking I am just getting into this and don’t know a good bow when I shoot one yet.  Looks like my taste in bows is not too bad so far.

I saw them too.  I did not even pick one up because I figured I'd end up owning one and I was too busy helping my fiance find a bow!  Good choice!

WHEW...I thought you might have bought the lefty I was looking at, will end up ordering. It was the cocobolo/grey heavy riser, tulip wood limbs. I shot alot of bows at the show, but I always came back to the Predator. Very smooth draw, no shock, fast and accurate. What a great design.

That is a beauty of a bow!!
I just got off the phone with Mike and ordered a basic Hunter model - 62" long and 56lbs at my 28" draw.
I would love to have the fancy riser and limbs, but my cash flow is not what it once was.

God Bless,
Paul

that is a neat looking grip.  i have never shot a predator, but it looks like that arrow would ride right on top of your hand...should be a sweet instinctive shooting bow.

Yeap, the grip just seems to fit my hand perfect! I need to shoot it some more. My shoulder is really sore from shooting all the differant bows at Kzoo.   :bigsmyl:   I havent shot that much since last year.

I was bit before the show. Walked out with one of my own. This one is special too, It was Mike's personal bow. The one and only "Safari Classic". He said this is the only one there will ever be. I kept talking to him about it through e-mail and he said he would refinish it and sell it to me with the limbs of my choice. 58" and 51 lbs. It shoots and feels fantastic. He had it ready for me when I got there on Friday.

Beautiful bows, guys! I picked one up just before the holidays and was extremely impressed with it... and keep getting more impressed each time I shoot it.

The Predator Bows and Ron Pittsley are still like one of the best kept secrets in the world. Ron and Mike produce IMO the fastest user friendliest Recurves on the Market Today!

Jashu, that is one handsome Bow!
