I think that I have made up my mind to buy a predator recurve. Is it true that the only way they are sold is thru a distributer? I have heard so many good things about the owners, that it seams strange that you have to go thru a bass pro shop or the likes to get one.

Ron doesn't currently offer a one-piece Predator.
I love mine!

Sorry for the double post...fat fingered it. I do love the draw on predator bows they seem so smooth and in my opinion they shoot with more authority then my other similar poundage recurves

I love mine. You will like the smooth draw! I just ordered limb skins to cover the black laminate [Hunter Recurve]....a Doe busted me Sunday in a tree at 16 feet. She saw the black and knew something was up. Everything else was camo,so that had to be it. If I ordered a new one, I would get clear glass.
Funny, I watched her go to the tree I was in last year and look up it it. I'm going to get her this year!!!

I got a very good deal on a Predator Classic,used, but in almost Pristine condition. 46#'s@28". I'm impressed with how well this bow shoots. I highly reccomend them.

I have 2 Predator recurves and 2 Phoenix longbows of Ron's. My son has a Predator recurve. To say we "are sold" is an understatement. Love the look and feel of the bow. Good luck. Beav

reinmb, I went to their website at
www.huntersniche.com
and looked at the available options. I could have placed my order by mail using their order form, but I decided to do it by phone. I believe Ron Pittsley's business partner, Mike Hoadley, answered my call and took my order. Anyway, five or six weeks later I received a brand new Phoenix longbow made to my specs. Cabela's carries the basic model Predator recurve and Phoenix longbow, both made with a solid bubinga riser. Since The Hunter's Niche direct prices are better than Cabela's, you can get more options such as a laminated riser, or a different limb laminate choice, for just a little more money. That being said, the basic models offered by Cabela's look great to me just as they are. Clint

I've bought three directly from Ron; one for my son and two for me. They are terrific to deal with and seem to always have at least parts of the bow made up -- so the wait time isn't too long.

I just purchased this bow from a person who purchased it brand new from Ron Pittsley at a traditional archery event this June. I should be receiving the bow sometime this week. As you can see, it has a Phoenix longbow style riser but it has more radically reflexed/deflexed limbs. It's also a very compact 60" AMO length. The belly side is black glass & it's backed with clear glass over zebrawood. This bow is so new that it isn't on the Hunter's Niche website yet. I don't even know what the name of this model will be. I believe the original Phoenix longbow (with longer & more mildly reflexed/deflexed limbs) is still available. I hope I didn't let the cat out of the bag by posting this. I don't have a Predator recurve yet, but I do have a 64" Phoenix longbow that I really like.
