Made the trip up to Kalamazoo yesterday for the Expo with the intention of bringing home a new toy. Shot a lot of bows and the real stand out for me was the Great Plains SR Swift. At 58" it draws smooth and is fast. More importantly the grip fits like a glove and it's the best point and shoot bow I've ever laid my hands on. I got the "El Dorado" model with phenolic in the riser (plenty of mass weight) and all black limbs.

Great bow and great people!
Great Plains had some real beautys there. I almost took home the Cedar lammed longbow...almost. :)
That is a beauty.
Nice Steve. Can't wait to see it in person this Spring!
Great lookin bow. Harvested my first ever kill with my 58" SR Swift. The draw on it is amazingly effortless and smooth.
Note to self: Never go to Kalamazoo !
Great looking bow ! :thumbsup:
Nice bow! There were almost too many bows to look at, eh?
"There were almost too many bows to look at, eh?"
Yep, I felt like a kid in a candy store. The Expo is a good time, for sure. Wish I'd been able to make a few of the seminars. I'll bet they were great.
Billy, The good thing is my CE heritagre 150's that I was shooting out of my DAS fly beautifully out of the Great Plains so won't be needing any arras for a while!
Jake, I hear ya brother, c'mon Spring!
