Really nice bows. I have a Bob Thompson Extreme with arrow inlays, as well as a longbow his son made with even nicer arrow inlays.

There has been a new owner of Zipper Bows for about 2 years now.

Zipper bow quivers are some of the best made today.

1989 and going strong. Standard model though, not Extreme. I've shot one, they're awesome.

You won't go wrong with one in my opinion..about 200 hogs and a good many assorted other critters from deer to pronghorn to elk haven't complained a bit about it over the years.

the thing that I like best about all of the zipper t/d bows I have owned is that they are light in hand...a big plus to me.  When I shot recurves it was the bow I shot.
