Feather weight.
Been on the search for a feather weight setup, I dusted off my prairie predator and did some tuning. I forgot how great this bow shoots!! As for the handle finish kinda wearing off I am giving the bow a fresh coat of wax and am gonna put a grip on it. Really digging this setup and at 56” with 1 inch wide limbs it doesn’t get lighter. Looked at mikes site today and he has brought back the machete recurve. Hmmm any suggestions for making money appear in your back account?

Re: Feather weight.
I have had 5 or 6 of his bows. Only one did I really like alot and I foolishly sold it to Jason's friend. They all are different. Different feel,grip sometimes he uses a different form etc. Not one is a like. They are good light mass weight bows, shoot pretty good also. Most people like them. I have been debating on ordering a new one.
Re: Feather weight.
See shortly after I got pp I became fascinated with the slick stick which I still think is bar none the best bow out there for the money. But will is using my slick stick at the moment because he broke his by leaving it strung in a hot car all day, against my advice I should add. While he gets it warrantied I wanted to use a shorter bow so on a wimm I shot an arrow I tuned for my 50 lb bear through it and it flew absolutely perfectly. I just forgot how good it shoots or I never gave it a good shot to begin with. It has some brown glass on it and until recently, I didn’t care for. The mango Vaneers looks awesome though and mike did a really good job on the bow.

It's a nice looking bow. I don't know anything about them.

Very nice bow. I picked up one of mikes bows for my Grand son.

Re: Feather weight.
They are good shooting bows graps but do not have the quality finish of say one of Toms or Jose’s bows. Though they are only about 300 bucks.
I think I paid about 300 to my door for the bow because I won the vaneers on the other site before I came to this one.
Greg I have two of his kids longbows for my little ones. For 95 bucks you can’t beat them and they really fling an arrow.

Re: Feather weight.
I like a little weight to my bows. I just picked up an old Pearson Raider today. It has a phenolic and rosewood riser.

Re: Feather weight.
those prairie predators are super light, I think my 60 incher was just under a pound if I remember right.
