Title: Sanders "swift" target bow
Post by: jackdaw on February 26, 2012, 09:23:00 PM
Any of you guys out there have a 1960's Sanders Swift target bow you would like to part with??? My father would like to get one as my uncle used one for target shooting/ field course work at our club in the early 60's ! You were considered a tall dog in short grass !!!! As dad is knocking on 79's door, a lower 30's poundage would be what I'm looking for. It's the only sporting activity we do together anymore and I'm not sure for how much longer...so I'm tring for him. Thanx in advance....john

I had a Sanders Swift many years ago and I wish I still had it for your Dad.  That is a very unusual bow....good luck finding it! I did see a Sanders bow not long ago, but have no idea if it's available or not!

With that much deflex in the riser I'll bet it was a smooth shooter.

Not marked for maker, but this bow looks suspiciously similar?

Mine tapers right into the limbs w.o the abrupt change,


If you can use 45#, I'd be willing to lend you mine.  If you need a LH I have one for sale.

Its at the office, but I want to say 40#.  It needs one tip overlay to be redone.
