I run mine 7 3/4 to 8". These are some very nice shooting bows.
Smooth drawing and excellent speed!

Pred80 beat me to the punch, but since I already did the search, this guy is using 7 3/4" - 8", but of course people will find different sweet spots than one another. Congrats, I've always liked the looks of those bows!

I had one a while ago that liked 7 3/4 - 8". Very fast bow but I couldn't get it as quiet as I would have liked and have since switched to longbows.

I've never owned one, but I shot one, and they are hard to beat.

I use 7 3/4" for my 29" draw leght ( 60" leght bow ). For 30" draw leght it's better 8", I think . As you can see in the Predator brochure for 27 1/2" or 28" draw leght, probably the best will be 7 1/2".
