Gary Leppla, "I am writing this letter to thank you for making this past hunting season such a great success. The PREDATOR IV pendulum sight has made all the difference for me. Previous seasons have brought moderate success and some frustrations. This year was a different story. Five arrows released - five deer harvested, thanks to the PREDATOR. No more thinking - should I hold high or low. Just aim where you want the arrow to hit and let go. It couldn't be easier." |

Robert Simmer "I purchased a PREDATOR IV sight two years ago to try out. I killed a six point the first year and a four point last year. In the past I have used a Cobra sight and found it didn't shoot accurate all the time. Your sight has never failed me yet, it's just great!" |

shot is from the Jelico area, |

"I have been bowhunting for twelve years and never took a deer. I had plenty of shots but the guess work of what pin to use and the yardage wasn't easy for me. A friend purchased your PREDATOR IV and it really improved his shooting. So, half way through the season I got a PREDATOR IV to but I didn't have and opportunity for a shot. But this season, so far, I've taken three deer and its only three and a half weeks into the season. One was shot from the ground, Boy!! What a season, THANKS." Update 11/12/03 Enclosed is a picture of my first buck with a rack in my many years of hunting - thanks to the Predator IV sight. It was a perfect heart shot and it ran 35 to 40 yards. I also shot a coyote 15 yards from my treestand. The accuracy is truly amazing. |

Tom Anderson, "In all my bowhunting years I've used every pendulum sight made. The Predator IV by far is the quietest most accurate and most reliable pendulum sight I've ever used. It doesn't matter how high I go in the stand it's still dead on. I am going to tell every one I know about it, it's the greatest thing to come along since compound bows!" |

"I have been bowhunting for about 7 years and have harvested a number of deer. The problem is I have missed a number of deer also. I either judge the range to the deer too far or not far enough. I purchased a PREDATOR IV sight last year and can honestly say I have not missed a deer using it. I just harvested the two largest deer of my lifetime. (December 2000) The sight is great! It takes all the range estimation out of the equation. With my arrow speed I am dead on from 0 yards out to 41 yards. Using this sight is kind of like using the mouse on my computer, just "point and click", or in this case, aim and release. The two bucks (pictured above) were close shots - 8 yards and 13 yards. But I previously took an eight point in November at 35 yards - "just point and click". Thanks for helping my bowhunting." |

"We get a ton of product here at The Bow Zone for testing purposes and very few of them make it in the review section. We have tested a lot of products and have reported only on the ones that make the grade. Predator Products does exactly that. I found the set-up to be fairly easy (as long as you follow the instructions) and after the set-up the sight did exactly what Lou claimed it would. The ranges in distance did not change the accuracy of the sight, and neither did the lay of the land. The service from Predator Products was fantastic and any questions that I had, Lou answered them quickly and accurately!" "If you don't have one of these...You need to get one! Predator Products has made a fantastic quality product. I will be hunting with The Predator IV Pendulum Sight this year and for a long time to come." |

" I would like to thank Bow Zone for giving down to earth, honest, informative, real life product recommendations and reviews.

Thank you Predator Products for a fantastic product"

Larry Walker, "I bought the PREDATOR IV sight last year and really like it. I was able to harvest a 7 point, a 4 point a doe and a coyote. All the shots were form 35 to 40 yards and I know if I had to guess the yardage, I probably would have missed. What a sight - just aim and shoot." |

"Thank you for your Predator IV sight. I am tickled pink with it! It is one of the best investments I have ever made. It has greatly improved my shooting ability. The 8 point is the first buck I harvested with it, boy what a great way to start off. He weighed in at 175 lb. and had a 19 in. spread. It was the buck of my life. Thanks again, and keep up the good work!" |

"It might seem insignificant to most for praising a bow sight for it's reliability, however I feel my situation is unique. I have hunted with a bow for 16 years and have tried every product one can imagine, including Keller pendulum sight. The area I have hunted my entire life is on a hillside. The catch is, the hill is approximately at a 45 degree angle. This allows me to shoot downhill at a nasty angle or uphill which is the same. I have had problems in the past trying to estimate yardage with my fixed pins due to the severity of angles preseason practice from my stand made me question my ability to virtually hit an animal at more than 20 yards." "All my problems regarding yardage and angles from my stand have been
solved thanks to your product. Now I just aim and shoot. Last year I placed
a shot of a lifetime. The buck was uphill at 32 yards. My only shot was
through a shooting lane as circular as a hockey puck. It would either be a
clean miss due to the snow encrusted branches or a vital kill through that
small opening. Needless to say the reliability of the sight held true once
more. UPDATE: 2004
The only thing I haven't changed is my site. I would not even think of putting anything but the Predator IV pendulum. (Although I did upgrade to the 3-D All Terrain now.) I practice every possible shot scenario one could encounter in these hills. Believe me, your sight makes me confident in any situation, any angle, up-hill, down-hill, at 0 yards below my stand and 35 yards away from my stand. I have harvested nine whitetail deer in that nine years and my biggest a 12 pt. came in 2003 with the 3-D All Terrain sight. The best feature next to it's durability and uncanny accuracy is the ability to calibrate yardage settings well beyond 50 yards. I always wondered how I would handle a shot walking to or from my stand at yardage unfamiliar to me. Now I don't have to wonder, I've practiced and I'm ready. Thanks again. |

Lamar Bass, "A few weeks ago several friends and I purchased the PREDATOR IV pendulum sight. During my twenty eight years of bowhunting I have shot virtually every pendulum sight made and the PREDATOR IV is the quietest, most accurate and the most adjustable of all. Having used a Keller pendulum sight for twenty years I have never appreciated the fact that they have never made improvements in their sight in all that time. There is just no comparison between it and yours. Thank you for the best and last sight I will ever have." |

"I just wanted to send you a picture of the largest buck I have ever taken with my bow. Last year I switched to the Predator IV after using the Keller sight for several years. The accuracy of the Keller sight was not nearly as good as the Predator. Sighting in the Predator was simple and easy and accurate from any hunting location. My dad is also using the Predator and Last year he took his first deer with a bow. Thanks for the great product." |

Brett Rushton, "I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with my PREDATOR IV sight. I purchased it three years ago and a new bow. By following the instructions, I had it sighted in about an hour after installation. To this day, I have not had to make any adjustments to it and have taken 4 out of 5 deer ever shot at with it. The one that I did miss was because I lost my release on the way to the stand and tried to shoot without it! I have and will continue to recommend the PREDATOR IV to every bowhunter I come across." |

"This past October I harvested this nice 8 point using your Predator IV sight and I must say the security I felt using your site is overwhelming. For years I used pin sights and judging distances is not one of my strong points. So I often missed. Now since I have been using Predator IV I have harvested five deer in two years including this 265 lb. 8 pt. My confidence level is extremely high now thanks to you. I can hit at any range under 40 yards!! Keep up the good work!" |

Bob Crossman, "I am not much of a letter writer, but I think your sight is just great.
Over the years I have tried; the Montith, ABC
Pivotal, Eliminator, Cobra and stationary pins. The PREDATOR IV is

free." |

"I have been using your sight for 3 years now and have had great success
with it. I used Keller sight for about 10 years and could not believe the
tremendous difference in the two products. The bigger sight window has
really improved my harvest ratio. I am shooting with much more confidence. I
definitely think the ability to shoot with your sight from the ground or
form a treestand without locking or adjusting anything has made my
hunting much more enjoyable. This buck I shot in 98 in |

"I just wanted to drop a note of thanks to you for increasing my confidence while out on my stand. My friend Bob Whitlock turned me on to your sight after a dismal beginning of the 2001 archery season. I had a couple of bad encounters leading up to the purchasing of your sight. After making a few bad hits and not filling a tag, Bob encouraged me to try your sight. With a little help from Bob I was amazed how easy it was to set up. Bob made it a little easier on me with his experience in setting up a couple of others with your Predator IV. After about a half an hour or so I was right on the money." "The following day I harvested a pretty nice 4X4. Couldn't believe the
difference switching from pins. A month or so later I harvested another 4X4.

Cris Bies "I just want to say thanks for all your help when I called and asked for
the updated bracket and fiber optic pin. I have never received that kind of
customer support from anyone. I also love the sight and have sold quite a
few for you to my friends. I would like to share a quick story with you." "As I drew my bow I shifted my stance a little and my
treestand seat came slamming down. Normally that would scare anything within
200 yards away. However, since it was so windy, the buck stopped only to
look around. All of this happened very quickly but it gave me the chance to
put the pin on him and shoot through the only window I had near him." |
|
|
|
|
|
"Since then I haven't missed a shot! No more guessing which pin to use or how far out the deer is. I have total confidence in the sight with the ability to put the pin on the deer and shoot. Many people say to me, "Boy, what good luck bow hunting you have." I just smile and give the Predator IV most of the credit." |

"I have been using your Predator IV sight since the fall of 99. Since
then I have not missed a killing shot on any animal. Before switching to the
Predator IV sight my track record was not too impressive. Since then, I have
taken 2 bucks and 4 does from treestands and 3
turkeys shot from the ground.
My Predator IV has worked extraordinarily well on three different bows. Shooting from the air or ground the sight has performed equally well. I chose the predator IV because of it's apparent high quality, precision adjustability and reasonable price. After using dozens of other sights, I have finally found the one I will stay with and I will recommend it to any serious bowhunter."

I have harvested three nice deer in the last in the last three years with your sight the Predator IV a six pt. scored 135 P&Y, 23 & 3/4" inside spread. He is the biggest six point I have ever seen anywhere. Last year I took a doe late in the season and this year on Thanksgiving morning a nice 11 point buck that green scored 147 & 7/8 points P&Y. My biggest buck ever! I should also let you know that my dad, uncle and a good friend also use your sight and we all love it.

Rick Hammond - " For years I shot fixed pins, but in January of 2001, I purchased a Predator IV bowsight. Although I had 3 P&Y bucks on the wall I had to do something different. To my amazement it took only a short time to sight in and I was accurate out to 35 yards. Using it the last two deer seasons, I have taken back to back P&Y 8 pts. It is hard to argue with that kind of success. Thanks for a great product."
Update:
Late this last summer I found a new sight
pin in the mail from Predator Products. I was very surprised and
pleased. I was anxious to put it on and give it a try. After shooting it
I was amazed at the brightness of the new fiber optic pin.
This November I put the new pin to the
test! With 15 minutes of shooting light left and in heavy timber I had
this buck come in at 18 yards and gave me a less than desirable
quartering toward shot. I could not let this buck go. I took very
careful aim and turned my arrow loose. It hit exactly where it was
suppose to and the recovery was a short distance from where he was shot.
I have now taken five P&Y bucks in the last 6 years and three of them
have been shot with your Predator IV sight!
This buck scored 150 P&Y inches and weighed over 300 pounds. Thanks
Predator Products.

impressed with your service and the way that you take care of your
bowhunting friends. I will make sure to keep spreading the word about
your top notch responses and excellence of service. It is only

still on your website. With luck, I'll be able to send you some new

When I
started bow hunting fifteen years ago, I had a compound bow with
fixed pins.
I thought that was all I would ever need, in fact I would
argue that there was no difference between fixed pins and pendulum
sights. Shows for many years, so when the show came again I bought one as well as my hunting buddy. Boy, what a difference! I love it… in fact I think it’s more important than the bow you’re using. No more missing shots because of elevation changes. It helped me bag this nice 10pt. this past year with a green score of 156 2/8. I will never use fixed pins again.
Thanks for a great product. |

I have been shooting the Predator IV for two years now, with great
results. It has taken the guess work out of what pin to shoot with from 0-35 yards. This buck I shot on Saturday (Nov 29th) came in so
fast I didn’t have time to think. It allowed me to pull and shoot knowing I
would hit were I was aiming. Also with my eye problems the .040 pin has
allowed me to hunt without glasses. I have taking 5 Jim Temple

I put the Predator IV on my bow this year, and I just want to tell you how impressed I am with it! Once I got it dialed in, there were no more worries about yardage anymore. All you have to do is figure out your maximum range, and anything inside of that, just put your pin where you want you arrow to hit, and that’s where it hits. I have told everybody I know that hunts to try this thing out. It is a must for anybody that bow hunts out of a tree, because there are no second guessing yardages, or aiming in between pins. I took this doe at 23 yards this year, and with the Predator IV, the target panic or "buck fever" was allot less, because I knew to just put the only pin I had on my bow on the spot, and the arrow would find its way there!! The shots are a lot easier when you have fewer variables for error. Thanks again for developing such a wonderful product.
Update: "Hey Lou, I had talked to
you at the Woods and Water show the other day about the new fiber optic pin
for my Predator IV sight. As you suggested, I am attaching some
updated pictures of my hunts with the sight. Unfortunately, the best
shots I have made, I cant find picture's of.. (red squirrel at 17
yards, and coyote at 16 yards)." |

We've been using the Predator IV ever since Don Guier recommended it a couple years ago. We have been really pleased with it's performance and consistent accuracy.

Kevin J. Gular, Tomah, WI I have been bowhunting for about 12 years and have harvested a number of deer and I've missed a number of Deer also. I'd either judge the range to far or not far enough. So, I purchased a PREDATOR IV sight on the recommendation from a friend and I'm glad I listened. This sight takes all the guess work out. The only thing you need to know is if the deer is within your bow range and your capabilities. No longer do I wonder how far that deer is and which pin to use. I'm good out to 40 yards with no problem, just aim and shoot. My
13 year old son is now bowhunting and he is asking when he can get one!
Update: Fall 2009* I purchased the Predator IV sight for
my son as a Christmas gift and here are the results, the shot was roughly 18
yards from a tree stand. He told me after the shot (while grinning ear to
ear), he didn’t even need to think about the distance only the placement on
the arrow. Needless to say he is hooked on the Predator IV!

It is by far the best quality and the most accurate I have ever used. Why guess the yardage when all you have to do is pull up your bow and shoot? It is accurate every time! Here is a picture of my 2003 Illinois whitetail which is Illinois's 12th typical archery kill and scored gross 200 and 2/8th net 184 and 1/8th. Thank you for your product. Tim Purcell PS.

 Attached is a picture of my latest harvest with your awesome sight. When a small animal like a coyote comes by at a trot 30 yards out there is only one sight that makes the shot possible, It's your Predator IV! If I had to decide range, and how high to hold above the target I would have never gotten this shot off. Your sight makes it possible to put the pin on the target and release with confidence! Thanks for making the best sight available to hunters! |

"Last year I sent you a 140inch that I shot with the Predator, and this year this nice 135 P&Y deer came in to a grunt fast and stopped on a dime at 35 yards, the Predator makes sure that the shot goes where I want it to without having to guess the distance. It is such a great product! I broke the filament dragging the bow through the beans so I'll be ordering one of those from you, but I could not have made these shots without your product."

It
will be 9 years next bow season that I have been using your amazing Predator
IV sight. Many technological changes have taken place with the archery
equipment during that time. I have since retired my High Country bow,
aluminum arrows, and the double prong rest. My setup now consist of a
Mathews LX, Gold Tip carbon arrows and a Muzzy Zero Effect Drop Away rest. A
huge change compared to my old combination and I love it!
