Predator Classic photo tribute thread

[elkhunter45]

With the loss of Ron a few years back and the closing down of the shop earlier this year I thought a photo tribute thread might be of some interest. Let's see what you guys and gals got.

[Possum Head]

Don’t own any but must say those are very nice!

That green one is very cool. I saw some in the classifieds,but I'm trying very hard to limit myself

I really like that green bow

Some pic's showing the green glass. Green has always been my favorite color.

Some specs from the 2 bows in the first picture. The green one is mine and it is 47# at 28" by 60" long. The rosewood is my son's and it is a 48# at 28" by 62" long. I went for the green look because I shot a 50# Bear Kodiak Hunter with green glass and futurewood for 2 decades. I wanted a takedown that was fastflite capable with a similar look. This was the bow that replaced my old Bear.

Any other Predator's? The intent of this thread is to showcase the Predator Classic Recurve, to honor Ron Pittsley's memory, and to lament the loss of a very well made bow. If you got one please show us what you got.

Thank you!

Fantastic bows. I have five, and always will !

Okay, One more.

An early 90's one. Built just before he worked at Darton. Ron was a great guy, and built awesome bows.

[Gun]

Those are all beauties. I'm partial to green as well. I almost bought a predator when they first came out.
But I'm a diehard Bear TD shooter these days. my days of custom bows are over
Thanks for sharing

Georgious bows, Stagetek! I really like the riser colors of the 2nd pic.

[cacciatore]

I always wanted to buy one but for one reason or another never pulled the trigger.

[BRONZ]

I was looking into buying one and noticed the website went down. I was afraid it closed. That's really sad news.

I shot them a couple times. If I was in the market for a three piece it would be right at the top of my list along with a bear takedown. They are sweet shooters!
