Title: New Zipper
Post by: Otto on December 22, 2007, 03:34:00 PM
I've wanted a Zipper since the first time I saw Bob Thompson at Cloverdale over a decade ago.  Last summer I bought a riser off a fellow TG'er here and immediately I ordered a set of limbs from Billy Dunn.  Last night he called to tell me they were ready.  Billy's shop is only about 50 minutes away from where I live and this morning I zipped (pardon the pun) on over to his place.  The results are awesome.  He made a set of his std. Curly Maple verneered limbs for me.  Bamboo cores, 50# @ 29 inches.  What a piece of work.  I thought I post a few pics to share.  If anyone is thinking of buying a Zipper, have no fear.  Billy makes an awesome bow.

Maybe now I can shoot like Chad Jones!!!

Well, I don't have a crono, but I'm inclined to say that it is.  It definately cooks an arrow along for sure.
