When I bought my Pearson Pride I kept the Anaconda for a backup. It was such a sweet shooter I was temted to keep using it as my primary bow. I decided to give it to a friend and the same weekend I ended up losing my new bow (after I already had given the Anaconda away). Man, was I bummed. Anyway, I bought a new Pride and all was well again. I've still got a Proline Point blank, a High Country Quad, and a Bear recurve if needed but won't hunt with them unless I lose my bow again.[8D]

Well I changed my mind and bought a cheap used bow on ebay. I'm going on a trip and it made sense to have a backup. I got it for 130 bucks. It seems like a decent used bow for the money. It's a 2003 Pearson Predator VX.
60 to 70 lb draw weight, 29"
7.25inch brace height
85% let off
Comes with stabilizer and sights. Here's a pic(not the actual bow)

I use a release fingers are optional, except for the trigger one !

This bow is sweet! Best 130 bucks I ever spent. I like it every bit as much as my Hoyt. It's smooth and very quiet. I put a whisker biscuit on it and shot it for the first time last night and was driving nails after about 10 minutes of tuning. Man this thing is QUIET. And the angled grip is real nice too. I'm glad this thread inspired me to look for a cheap backup.
