Ordered First New Bow since April 1996

elkhunter45 · July 18, 2019, 07:35:59 PM

I'm not a prolific buyer of new trad bows, but my wife insisted that I reward myself with one. She's a keeper for sure after 33 years. Anyways, my son bought a Predator a couple years back and I got very fond of shooting it when we shoot together. I've shot a green glass/futurewood Kodiak Hunter for years and my favorite color is green so guess what color my new Predator will be? Ha ha. Pictures to come upon arrival.

Good for you congrats. Always heard good about the Predator bow.

Predator TD's are nice bows. Congrats

I had one, the grip was a little large but it was bomb proof and quick.

Predators are great bows for sure! Looking forward to seeing pics.

Just curious, were you able to find one built or is it made to order? Noticed 3Rivers has em. Your wife is what a Trad gang wife is suppose to be!

I called the shop to order one and they just happened to have one green riser in stock that wasn't listed in their inventory. I was happy that they did because that meant I could get it soon. To top it off they had one set of green limbs that just happened to be in my weight range. It was predestined for me to have it.

Looking forward to pics of the new bow. I like your wife's attitude as well!

S W E E T !!! You gonna shoot it off the rest or off the shelf? Either way, enjoy your first new bow in too many moons.

blacktailbob · July 27, 2019, 08:29:49 AM

Matching green arrows and quiver too. Very nice!

Yes sir on the Bear Weather Rest. I have shot one for years on my Kodiak Hunter. I have become accustomed to it over the years. I call it my $5 miracle tuner. I did try to shoot this new bow off the shelf for two days. I couldn't get rid of the nock high. I stuck my old trusty Weather Rest on and I was shooting darts again. I guess I'm just not a good form/release guy.
