Anybody shooting a great plains bow? Speciffically the SR Swift? What do you think of it, are they as smooth and accurate as claimed?

I had a Great Plains Red River T/D recurve. It was a great bow. The grip is wonderful. I don't think you could go wrong with the SR Swift.

SR Swift is a very nice bow. Quiet, fast and as accurate as you are. Very smooth too. Look at the F/D curve on Blacky's web site.

My 58" SR Swift is my go to bow for tree stand, ground blind, 3-d or anything I em shooting at. Love to shoot all my bows, but when I need to get serious, I grab the SR Swift. For me it shoots the most consistant of any bow I own. Pleasing to my eye also. They named it right when they named it Swift cause it is that. And I really like the short riser.

I've shot Danny's bow and it shoots as nice as it looks. I beleive part if the reason it shoots so well (aside from Danny's skill) is that the grip shape is conducive to consistant hand placement.

Just picked a SR Swift up at Compton in June. Mine is 58" 48# @ 28". It is smooth, pretty quite,and fast. I am shooting 725 gr. laminated birch with 125gr. broadheads. They fly like darts. My draw is 29" so its pulling around 51#. I got this bow at the swap meet and only paid $375,with a bow sock ,stringer,and a extra fast flighht string.I would to shoot one if you can,I think you will be impressed!!!

I have a B model Cazador TD. It's one sweet looking and shooting recurve. Aside from my Fox High Sierra it's the next best shooting recurve I own.

Loved my Great Plains Palo Duro recurve! One of these days I'll own a Swift.

Thanks to all who replied. I am asking for a couple reasons. 1 I like the looks of the bow, and 2 I have been loaned a non-take down Great Plains re-curve that is the smoothest bow (trad or mod) that I have ever pulled. The only thing I don't like is it is 55# at 25 inches draw length. With my 28 1/2 inch draw I cannot pull the 74 pounds to anchor the string the way I am used to. (yep pulled it on a game scale)
