Title: Matlock - Swift
Post by: Burnsie on December 26, 2009, 10:21:00 AM
Does anyone own and/or have pics of one of Bill Matlock's Swift recurves?  I thought they were one of the coolest/unique looking recurves available and they were on my short list until Bill took ill.

I know I wanted to get one until he got sick.  I had two Predator longbows and so sorry I sold them.

I had one Burnsie.Got it from Bill just before his stroke.God bless him!

It was a very pretty bow with a unique look.It was single carbon and bamboo.Gaboon Ebony riser with purple heart accents.

Man did that thing ever smoke an arrow.It even had a skinnier string which was not common back then.It had really narrow limbs.It shot great.Definatly one of the fastest bows around then or now.He really got alot of performance from all his bows.It was 62 inches and 65#s at 30.I shot 2219s out of it.I guy from CA. bought it from me.I would love to have another one.I have only seen one or 2 for sale used in the last 7 years or so.Hopefully someone can post a picture or 2.

Hello Gentlemen,  you might try giving "Grizz" a call at Adventure Studios out of Corrales New Mexico, last time I was in his store he had a number of Bills bows on the wall. He also had a few of John Fazios bows as well. Ph.  505-897-4874 Good luck.    Butch
