Predator bows are the best shooting recurves I have ever shot.  The folks behind them are outstanding and stand behind their bows 100%.

You simply cannot go wrong buying a Predator!!

WOW Rocketdog, YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!

That is a great collection you have of the best bows out IMHO.

Very nice combinations and great weights there.

I am humbled.

Thanks for the compliments.  It took me a while to put that bunch together.  I still look for unusual or highly figured woods in Predators, but am getting low on money.

2Elkhunt, I was looking hard at that really unusual Predator until I realized it was a Bear.  LOL  Looks like you have some really nice bows.
Blessed are the peacemakers

Yes, I would imagine one would get a little low on money.......after owning at least $6000.00 in Predator bows!

I bought my first Predator about 4 months ago. I am completely impressed with the smoothness and the speed. Mine is very quiet! I held off on buying one for several years because I thought I wouldn't like the grip or the shelf. I was wrong. I picked the bow up and immediately shot it as though I had been shooting a Predator for years. It really fits me! I will be buying another in the near future. The one I have is bocote with bubinga caps and zebrawood limbs. 62", 53# @ 28", my actual draw length is 31 1/4" (I shoot a 32" arrow BOP). I have been shooting since 1968 and I've owned many bows over the years. For me the Predator is the best so far.

I just got mine today, and all I can say is wow. I thought I wanted a widow until I started shooting this classic custom Predator 62 inch 52# @ 28. This thing is fast and smooth!

Rocketdog, there is some of the best looking cocobolo that I've ever seen in that collection.  Question for you Predator experts.  Can you order the bow without the quiver inserts?  Everyone I've ever seen for sale had them.  Not too big a deal, I guess, but I don't use them and would rather they not be there.  Thanks...Mike

Mooseman76 I am sure that the bushings are installed to aid in the manufacturing process but you can give Ron or Mike a call and they can explain better

You do not have to have the Quiver bushings installed.

Ok then! Good input all. I am kinda torn..I hear Bear is fielding some new bows this fall or winter,and I want to stay loyal to the brand. All I own are Bears. However,these Predators have really,really caught my eye. I'd like to shoot one first. I shot a Black Widow (first time) yesterday,AWESOME bow!I will say,I didnt feel cheated when I picked up my Super Kodaik again! It seems to me,it wings those Grizzlysticks just as well. It does hit with some authority!  I don't have alot of trigger time with other makes of bows..but I am very happy with my S.Kodaik. I recently bought a dz. GrizzlySticks to feed her...couldnt be happier! Take care,Lee

I have two ...a 60" Predator Classic 52# @ 28# and a 60" Predator Hunter 46# @ 28" . I Shoot both very well but tend to shoot better groups with the Hunter. The grip is beefier and the poundage is a little more comfortable for me. These are awesome bows that are very quiet, and extremely smooth and fast!  :thumbsup:
