Keep it coming guys. What I like about the Predator is the low cut shelf and the square edges of the riser. I also like how the riser comes to a knife edge where the limb mounts, quite unique. I would really like to see the limb profile unstrung if anybody has a pic or two? Thanks.......IJ

I have a 60" I got on a trade a few weeks ago. Now I am a big fan, Smooth, stable, quite, fast and most importantly very accurate with good form of course.Good luck Jerry.

You're welcome man.

You gotta get yourself one soon. You'll be glad you did.

I've always thought it would be great if Ron made a one piece Predator. That would be awesome.

Thanks for the compliment, limbolt.

I know I really like the looks and feel of my Predator Super Classic. Very happy with the speed and as far as looks it has been described at league as " that bow just looks elegant" by others. What I really like is the small radiused shelf sits low. The arrow almost sits right on your hand giving you a great feel and view. For those that want a bow that shoots where you look the low shelf is one of the things about the bow that sold me.

Roy (Bowwild) recently turned me on to these bows, I received a Classic 60" 49@28.  I liked it so well I called Mike & ordered a custom to my specs.  58" 52@28".  I chose African Bubinga for the handle, Tulipwood for the limb veneers.  

I draw 27 & Michael suggested 60", but with all the comments about the performance if the 58" rigs, I called and changed mine this morning.  I think it is like a short 10-week wait time.  

Predators rock & their customer service is impeccable!

I got a pretty sweet deal on a like new Custom Classic back in August. 47#'s @28" and 60" in length. I really like the low shelf,and the bow is a great shooter.

I will see if I can do this picture posting of my Predator. Keep your fingers crossed.
Mine is cocobolo and shedua, 60", 59#@28.
I got it used here on TradGang, and got the GN quiver that way too. Got the Hushpuppies and Bowhush, and the SBD string from sponsors. So this is a TradGang sourced rig all over, except for the sealskin for the rest & plate (and armguard), which a neighbor gave to me from a locally harvested seal.

Very nice bows guys   :thumbsup:  I'm leaning towards the plain Hunter model. I've had many fancy bows thru the years and I now want a workhorse. $549 bucks for a new Hunter seems darn reasonable for what you get! I like the black glass too! Probably go with a 58" and around 50#@28". Keep the comments and pics coming   :clapper: .............IJ

Coonbait, that picture of you, your Predator, and that eight point Whitetail is awesome!!!

I wish all you Predator fans were here...right now...at my house.

We would turn on my outdoor spotlight and shoot at my frozen 3-D deer from my elevated deck. Being the polite host, I would let someone else shoot first, and then I would bust your nock with my 750 grain carbon arrow from MY Predator.
It would be BIG fun!  :D
