Those of you who have been on this website for awhile know I have a major weakness for Zippers. I first met Bill Dunn in Kalamazoo in 2009. Bill had some beautiful bows that shot just as good as they looked. It wasn't long before I had ordered my first one, and my collection of Zippers has grown over the years. The Evolution recurve limbs Bill produced were always my favorite. Tom Jenkins took over Zipper and is doing a fantastic job with it. Tom contacted me about the new C2 limbs he was coming out with. It didn't take very many conversations, and I was on his build list. I just happened to have a good looking SXT riser Bill Dunn had built me a few years ago. Tom Jenkins has always had a real eye for some amazing wood combos. I shipped the riser to Tom and told him to go ahead and pick the veneers. He certainly didn't disappoint... Just got everything put together and so far I'm really liking everything about these limbs. They are extremely quiet and very smooth drawing. I can't wait to get outside tomorrow and shoot some arrows at a longer distance. I have to say Zipper is in good hands and Tom has a real winner with the C2 limbs !!!

Zebrawood veneers. Macasser and Mun Ebony riser.
I thought it might be Zebrawood, but I have never any veneers like that. Very nice!!
Those tips look so much better than the old square ones, nice bow
Beautiful bow.
Very, very nice!
Beautiful bow!
I have been fighting off the urge to get on the list, but think I'm going to give in this Spring!
I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the new limb design.
Zippers are a favorite of mine for sure. If I didn't make my own bows I'd be ordering a Zipper when I "needed" or wanted a new bow.
Wow! Tom is really talented. Beautiful bow.

Sweeeeeeet . . . love those tips.
Finally got a chance to do some shooting today. Up until this point it had only been close range in the basement. I'm really impressed by the C2 limbs. Talk about a smooth drawing and incredibly quiet recurve limb. I honestly can't remember ever shooting a recurve this darn quiet. Not to mention they really sling an arrow down range quite nicely. Tom sure has a real winner with these new limbs !!!
I've always liked the looks of Zippers from the first time I saw Stacy Groscup performing with his 20+ years ago at ETAR.
Nice bow Bill!!!
Outstanding....
,,Sam,,
Did a little further testing today. I have been incredibly impressed with just how quiet these limbs are. Tom sent one of Allen's 10 ring strings with them. Today I twisted up a BCY-X string and set it up with the wool yarn silencers I make. I can't see or hear any noticeable difference in the bows performance or noise level. These C2 limbs are just that darn good !!!
Very well mannered limb, butter smooth drawing, incredibly quiet, and great performance. Not really sure what else you could be looking for in a recurve limb. Not to mention it's a pretty sexy looking bow as well. Guess I shouldn't be surprised, it came outta the Zipper shop !!!
Glad you like them Bill! Can't wait to see you put them to use this fall.
Great stuff! I want one bad..
Do you have a strung profile picture?
Not the best picture,but at least you get an idea.

That's such a gorgeous bow. Can't believe that's zebra on those limbs. Is that just a quality dye job or is that a different species of zebra?
Mike
slick looking rig buddy!

It's flat cut Zebrawood. No stain or anything was added. Tom Jenkins is just great with wood combos and has a real eye for picking out quality stuff !!! :notworthy: :notworthy:

Mike, it's flat cut Zebra no stain.
Is it as dark brown as it looks? I've never seen it like that. I've only ever seen the cream/tan with black stripes and the reddish one.
Mike
Almost but the pics are a little dark.
