Title: Prairie Predator Shooters??
Post by: bowless on November 15, 2014, 04:41:00 PM
I would love some opinions and pics of your Prairie Predators.  I think that'll be my next bow but would like some input before making the order.

Thanks a bunch

We have two of them in our family, and they are very well made, and I don't think you will find a better bow for the money.

*disclaimer*  I don't make two piece take downs. (as evidence of what prairie drifter posted, I did once or twice, using the bow bolt, but it's just "not my thing".)

Yep. A great value

Beautiful bows!

Post by: bowless on November 18, 2014, 04:03:00 PM
Prairie Drifter, you have 14 of them?
I'm guessing your more than pleased with performance:)

What draw length does your 60" prairie predator work up too, Mike?  Nice bows I enjoy seeing all of them and for a bargain at that!
Title: Re: Prairie Predator Shooters??
Post by: Paul/KS on November 18, 2014, 10:12:00 PM
Great bows at a great price!   :thumbsup:  
That "plain and simple" one looks kind of familiar.   :)
Title: Re: Prairie Predator Shooters??
Post by: Mike Mecredy on November 18, 2014, 11:26:00 PM
the 60" can easily be draw to 28" with not problem, at 29" you start to feel it stack a bit.

You might say that !    :D

Seems people shooting these bows keep them.
Rarely seen in the classifieds, which I think says a lot.

...and to make sure everyone knows, I don't make antler burr bolts.

Post by: BDann on November 22, 2014, 09:12:00 PM
I didn't even know you made 3 piece takedowns!

That's right, I made these for this bow. Should have stated that in my post.

bowless, what are the specs you are looking for? might can be on the lookout for you. course, your best option is from Mike, himself.
Title: Re: Prairie Predator Shooters??
Post by: bowless on November 23, 2014, 11:26:00 AM
Saving a few $$'s and then I'll call Mike.
I'll probably go 46# or 47#.  
I started the thread to get some looks at different woods etc.. Also for owners opinions.
What I can't really figure out is "bow for the money" or "great value".  What I'd like to read is how well they shoot compared to a more expensive bow.
I think I know the answer, just wanted it confirmed.
