I use a predator custom and wouldnt trade it for the world. This being said the Bower / owner of predator is my best friends dad and I shoot with him quite often. Ron's bows are top notch but his customer service is what makes the diff. Oct 1st is opening day in michigan and I had a string issue (my fault) on sept 28th, I had a new string in my mailbox before opening morning. You can not go wrong, I use my bow for bowfishing and deer hunting and it takes a beating still as sweet as ever.
