Predator Longbows?
« on: April 04, 2012, 05:27:00 PM »
Just found this website for Predator Longbows.  I havent seen them before.  Just wondering if anyone has one or pics of one.  Im intrigued by the recurve model, nice looking 50's style.  Also dont know anything about the triple carbon laminations, if they have any benifit or not.  Hope everyone is having a great day,
Curtis.

I believe he is referring to Bobby Lutkenhaus a Texas bowyer out of Munester, Tx.  Bobby will do you right.  His longbow design is D/R.  He will do custom grips.  Many Texas shooters place well at the  Texas State longbow championship shooting his bows.  Great guy to deal with.

Does Bobby build a T/D bow?  I saw his bows at a shoot a year or so ago and man they looked sweet.

I haven't shot his recurves, but his triple and quad carbon lonbows are something else. Really good shooters. And bobby is a top notch guy.

Bobby Makes a great bow, I have 2 and would not trade them for anything. They are fast, quiet and the fit & finish is top quality.

Old thread here but I was able to get my hands on a Predator longbow made by Robert in trade. Bow is really fun to shoot, no stacking, smooth all the way to my anchor point and very quiet. Performance looks real good, I'm not a speed freak but it is hammering my 2016's where I need them to go which is the most important stat for me.
