Carbon Express Predator II Comments
« on: April 10, 2009, 09:28:00 PM »
I am looking at the Carbon Express Predator II's. I have a Hill "Wapiti" 58# @ 27". What Predator should I shoot and how durable are these carbons? Thanks. I draw #27".

Mark, the Predator II's are new shafting so I'm not sure you'll get much feedback yet. I've been testing them about 8 months and have only managed to break one.  They are value priced but good quality, I carried them in the whitetail woods last season with confidence.

Right off the top of my head I believe your set up would be best served by 45/60's, but your desired overall weight, point weight and depth of shelf cut out could change that.

I've been shooting them for about 2 months. Good shaft, and priced right.

SlowBow, I was thinking of going with the 6075's cut to 30" with a 100grain brass insert and a 125 grain ace broadhead. I would like to keep the weight up closer to 10gr/inch.

Toxo, unless your bow is cut well  past center I believe the 60/75's would be too stiff for your set up.

How deep is your shelf cut out, and what arrow are you shooting now that is tuned for the bow?

Slowbow, I thought they would be also, but when I plug the numbers into the dynamic spine calculator that has been circulating I am very close. Here is what I am entering:

Arrow: AMO Static spine (76.5), BOP length (30"), point weight (225), Fletching (feathers). These numbers give me a dynamic spine of 52.8#.

The bow numbers give me a dynamic spine of 53#.

Your input? Thanks
