There are lots of aftermarket dippers dipping in predator these days. I think if any of the major bow companies picked up Predator they would sell alot of bows in that camo scheme.

I have already expressed my affinity for the predator pattern, and was summarily chastised.

I've seen that on a couple bows over at AT. Looks great, that's for sure!

I bet there is a really good reason that this hasn't happened yet. Aside from that thought, ya, it's freaking cool looking and I'd order it.[8D]

I might even lean toward a bow in that camo if I was vascillating between two manufacturers but I'm sure there is some kind of cost issue for them to pay Predator vs. what they're paying for lame-ass blobbed out camo like Realtree. They were already charging $50 extra for the Max4 when I got my Old Glory, I'd hate to see what they'd charge for something like the Predator, you'd be able to get it dipped for that much...

Yeah bowtech already charges $50 to change from the realtree CRAPPY camo to something else. sorta stupid I think but just my opinion

The upcharge is a given, c'mon guys- do I need to explain the enconomy of scale as it relates to riser dipping? At least you have a CHOICE of several with BT. Not many manufacturers give you a choice of camo these days. Does Mathews? Hoyt? Martin? PSE?

That said, I'd like to see the Predator as a choice, and I don't think $50 is a bad deal at all if thats what you really want and don't mind waiting for it.

Vic- good to see ya buddy! you keep fighting the camo fight on our behalfs! P.S. You ever hook up with the host (hostess? bwahaha) at that steak restaurant on subsequent trips to the ATA?????? (inside joke-we'll see if he and the other BT guys remember))
