Title: new predator recurve
Post by: stickytoes on July 06, 2010, 04:13:00 PM
Just stopped in tawas mi and bought a predator recurve from Ron Pittsley. 51# @28 and 60" long. Both Ron and Mike were great to deal with and I can't wait to get home and shoot some more......but mom and kids are playing at the beach and I am watching dogs as my payment for dragging them along.......it will be worth it in a few hours....

I bought a Predator four months ago. I really love mine. 62", 53# at 28". I shoot a 32" arrow. They are very smooth and the performance is great. Ron and Mike are very helpful. I've been shooting archery and bowhunting all of my life (I'm 53) and my Predator is one of the best shooting bows I've ever owned.

I have to agree with OVERDRAWING, one of the best shooting recurves I have owned and shot.

I love my Predator!! I had a small issue with mine , sent it back to the boys and they had it fixed and back to me in no time.
 Now i need to find a set of 43/45 lb @ 28" limbs for it  ;)
 Great guys to deal with. Bill

Been thinking about getting one myself but even if I watch a bow on a certain auction we all know to see what it goes for the little wife ask "are you getting another bow". So I'll have to slide one in sometime.

I have two Predators and bought one for my son this past March.  One is a Custom Classic and the other an Anniversary model -- both LH.

Congrats on the new bow!

My Predator hangs on the wall in my living room
ready for action 24/7.

I live a mere 25 minutes away from Rons house, and I own only ONE Predator. It`s all I need.  :thumbsup:

You need more than one Don, dont give us that. Besides, I know there is more than one in your house.

I have two and three sets of limbs. Best bows I have ever shot. And, because of these bows I have become friends with Mike and we are planning a hunt this fall. Great people, great bows.

As the others have said : BEST bow out there!!!!"

Spend time with the family it goes by fast and tham we wish we had....

The bow is going nowhere and the anticipation is just building.

LOVE mine. I have had most "top"bows out and none come close.

JMHO

Jashu is right, there are several Predators at my house, BUT the owners will proclaim loud and proud just who the other bows belong to!  :D  

Congrats again on the bow stickytoes...get some arrows to match your style and draw weight, and you`ll see what all the fuss is about.

I traded for one this year and love it. It's at 54# but wish it were 2 lbs heavier.
