Title: Great Plains SR T/D Recurve
Post by: BlurryBuffalo on June 23, 2009, 06:53:00 PM
Why is it so hard to find this bow. Is it such a good bow that no one get ride of them or is it they are so bad that no one buys them? I was able to shoot one of these bows and loved it. It was so smooth and fasted and i want to get one but dont feel like paying for a brand new one. so if you can help thank you.

My old man just bought one, but bought it straight from The Shop. Its indeed a very sweet bow, and being fairly new, I doubt that a lot of people have one.

I've heard that 3 Rivers can't keep the lighter poundages Swifts on their shelves. My dad bought one in a 45#, but it was the only 45# bow Bill had in the shop. He originally was looking at a Rio Bravo, but after Bill had him shoot the Swift, he couldn't leave without it.

When you finally get yourself one, you won't wanna let it go either!

I have a SR Swift 48# @ 28". Its the best perfomimg bow I have shot to date. I have 2 RER and 2 Black Widows, both are excellent bows and I really like them. Got a bunch of long bows that I really like to shoot and carry,but none of them shoot like my SR. You don't see them for sale because most won"t part with them; Just my opinion.....

I have 4 Great Plains recurves. Two B model one piece bows, a take down SR Swift, and a new one piece anniversary swift model. They are all very nice bows.

A friend has two SR Swifts. I shot one and had to add "One Of These" to the bow rack.  I ended up buying Bill Foremans "Personal Black Hawk" SR Swift. 58" 56#@ 28".  I'm shooting it a lot and its an amazing bow...beautiful, fast and quiet too boot.  I can understsnd not seeing many used for sale.
I now have 3 of Bills bow including a B model 1 piece "Red River" and a t/d Long bow with 2 sets of limbs they are all fine quality bows, capable of fulfilling all of your hunting needs.  Spend the money for one....you will not regret it  :wavey:

I also fell in love with the Great Plains after I shot a B model at our club. I ordered a SR Swift in 45# and couldn't be more pleased. I think that the folks that have them want to keep em so you don't see many used ones for sale.
