I just received my new Prarie Predator on Weds, right before Thanksgiving. I had Mike build it with the Padauk in the riser and black limbs.
It arrived in great shape, and fast too...it hadn't been that long since I ordered it.
It's light as a feather. I asked for 54# @ 28". He hit the weight perfect. He suggested that for my 27" draw, I would like a 57" longbow and he was right again.
I nocked it at 1/2" high, braced it at 7" and shot it, only to discover that in my haste, I forgot to add the yarn ball string silencers that I had bought from Big Jim at Comptons. OK...now she's quiet as a mouse.
I don't know what this man does, but can he build a sweet shooting bow...and at a really sweet price.
It doesn't seem to care what arrows I feed it, just the point of impact is higher or lower per the weight difference. Smooth draw, quiet, and fast.
If you are looking for a lightweight, inexpensive shooting machine for yourself or spouse, or child, give Mike a call.
I like it!!!
