Facts and Questions

FEATURES OF OUR BOWS

Smoothness of draw - A bow that draws and opens smooth will also let down smoother and shoot a quicker, more accurate arrow. All of our bows are designed to draw smooth. Fitting yourself with the correct length bow will insure a smooth draw and top performance.

Stability - A combination of excellent design and tuning gives you a very stable bow.

Excellent performance - Each bow we build is hand tuned and tested. A bow that is designed well, correctly tuned, and equipped with a fast flight string will shoot great.

Reinforced Limb Tips - All limb tips are reinforced with phenolic to accommodate fast flight strings.

Longevity - With reasonable care, these bows should last for many years and give you a great amount of shooting pleasure and exciting hunting adventures.

Riser Inserts - Insert for quivers, reels, or stabilizers are optional with no charge.

Name on bow - We will personalize your bow with your name at no extra charge.


CARE OF YOUR BOW

Never dry fire your bow.
Always use a bow stringer to string it and take it down.
Never leave it strung in a very hot place (especially in a car with the windows rolled up on a warm sunny day.)
If you leave it strung, hang it horizontally.
All Great Plains Bows are guaranteed for 18 months.
