Anyone use them ? How do you like them ? Seem like a good deal.

I shoot mostly GT Trads and CE Heritage shafts, but I picked up a few of the Predator II 2040 shafts (.600 spine) because I needed a lower spine arrow for a couple of bows. I really like them, seem very consistant, and shoot good too. I've picked up more in .500 and .400 spine since. I have read where others say they are not as tough as some other shafts. That may be true, I haven't stumped with them, but I stump shoot with footed carbons. I'm sure a fella could foot the Predators also. I like the price of them too, and my local archery shops (compounds) carry the shafts and the components. Great shaft for the money.

We have been messing with a similar shaft out of a 45# longbow - a Terminator Lite 4560. It isn't weight forward or anything. They were a clearance shaft. Can't be any better than the Predators. I've shot the normal Terminator Hunters and they are a lot more durable but nothing wrong with these - just don't expect them to be as strong. I would put collars on them.
I've noticed that the Rebels and Predators have been on sale lately. Probably to make room for the new line of CE.

I did notice that the graphics on the shafts have changed on the Predator II's since the last time I bought some. Hope the shaft didn't change too much, if any.

Nothing wrong with Predator II shafts, for the money, imo. Might not be as tuff as some, but if you pick on the wrong stump it won't really matter what shaft you are shooting.

Very good shafts for the $.

I haven't broken one yet (shooting 2040's). Can't say the same about losing one or two, though.
