Title: New to me Pitsley Predator classic
Post by: whitebuffalo on March 09, 2009, 12:56:00 PM
55#@28" 60"amo and shoots really well. This bow has excellent cast and delivers a great wallup at the destination it hits. I really love everything about this bow. The profile is very modern with a touch of class. The feel is a very classic grip with a low cut and center cut shelf. It was very easy to find an arrow it likes. Luckly it seems to like anything I have.

Yeah I hear ya Dave but the poundage just wasnt right.  If you get a new set of limbs for it in the 55# range then I might be interested!   :thumbsup:

Post by: ishoot4thrills on March 09, 2009, 02:55:00 PM
Yes Tim, I'm with ya on the 55# limbs. I believe 55# limbs would be more ideal on mine, too. I know as I get older, I will probably have to come down in draw weight from what it is now. Mike at Predator bows says I can trade for any limbs that were made from '96 though present and they will fit my '96 model.

Whitebuffalo, that's a fine example of a Predator you got there. You should be very pleased to have it.

You have some arrows on the way that'll fly good out of it with some good point weight    :thumbsup:

Good luck with it bud   :)

Sweet Curt,,I had this bow in mind when I baught them so I'm really excited. Tim??,, Tim who??,,oohh, that fella with all the shrews,,LOL,   :readit:      :saywhat:

If anyone can see the leatehr between the limb pads,,I do that on all of my takedowns now. I have a firefly that came to me like that and I kinda adopted that since I have some leather around. It really keeps those bows from creeking or being to lound.

Great Bow choice ! Hard to find a better Bow in all respects.

Thanks fellas,, Bubinga and grey maple, purple heart stripe with maple accents around that I was unsure of the flat black limbs and riser but they really set this whole bow off. Its got a dark side to it,,LOL,,

Eric,, this bow is very similar to the super K's in feel for sure and the riser has that classic look. The craftsmanship is top notch and spotless. Pictures don't so it justice for sure. The leather just deadens that predator thump,, If you have heard a predator shot they have their own sound, they aren't load but the leather makes for an even quiter thump. I'm not sure what the exzact FPS is but this bow seems very quick.. I just noticed to day the trajectory is flat and true even with the big arrows.

Hey 'Whitebuffalo' - I just bought one of these bows today.  They are truly amazing.  I only had time to put about half a dozen shots through her, but will spend time on the range tomorrow, getting acquanted with it.

I think these may be the best kept secret in archery.

Jason,
You are starting to make me a tad jealous.....and wanting to get off my wallet and buy one.  A predator will be my next bow purchase, but still thinking I need to save the cash for a fall hunt.  My biggest "problem" at this point is my kids..... one teenage daughter, another one will be a teenager in July,   :help:  and my son will be 11 in June.  A new sport season, so new cleats, new bats, new this, new that..... the outflow of cash has to be prioritized when the kids get this age.

Dave your absolutly right, I had to sell my other predator to get this one,,So I still own one predator one firefly and they both shoot greatkeeping with this for now. Besides you have a Boblee,,those are great shooting bows and I know a few that would agree.   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:  JB

Predator's are the best shooting recurve's you can buy. PERIOD. Smooth, fast, quiet and the best part is they shoot where you look. They are a nock busting machine and the best part about them is it comes natural, just let it fly without thinking about it.

what kind of quiver is that howler,, Looks really nice. Nice classic's boys,,sweet bows,,JB

Post by: Yellow Dog on March 12, 2009, 08:35:00 PM
Jashu, it's a Super Classic but the limbs in the pic are 62" with Indian Rosewood wedges and faced in Rosewood that I picked up from a fellow Tradganger. The bow came with 60" Bamboo core Black Glass limbs with Bolivian Rosewood wedges. The Indian Rosewood limbs are a perfect match. Great fast shooter with either set but I prefer the 62" with my 30" draw.
