nice looking bow, what type wood in the riser????
-
Bloodwood stripes, zebrawood center, and curly maple.
-
Good loking bow, Chad. It is about time I saw you with a long bow. Now, can you shoot wood out of that thing?Did you know that Dick,Rick Ellis,Denny and myself signed up for the bowyer hunt in texas? Should be a great time. Would love to have you along if possible.
-
I didn't know Zipper made a 3pc. longbow. Was this made by Bob or the new owner?
-
Sweet looking bow Chad...like Pops, I didn't know there was a 3pc zipper longbow. Give us the details!
-
Ooooo! That's nice Chad! Looks like when the Zipper bug bites it bites hard huh? :p
How's it shoot compared to the recurve?
-
Very nice looking bow! Hope it shoots as good as it looks.

-

VERY NICE. Whats the brace height on that Beauty? :bigsmyl:
-
Looking good little buddy! Sure is hard to keep up with all your wheelin' dealin'. :D
-
Chad,
Looks good.
I thought the longbow limbs were going to be fitted for the extreme riser?
I guess you just couldn't bear to cut down the size of that riser because there wouldn't be as much of it to look at!
Neat looking limbs. Is that all Bill's design or did Bob start working on that one.
The finish on that bow looks really good too.
Chris
P.S. I'll bet Norb is on the phone with Bill right now.
-
OH MY Chad what have you gone and done :readit:
Good on ya BUD, Now fill us in
-
Ok guys let me try to awnser all of these.
Zipper just started making the longbow limbs and started taking orders last week.
As for performance, The new longbow limbs average 1 fps slower than the recurve limbs with the exact same weight and same arrow.
Chris, This isn't the one i ordered! The one i ordered is an extreme with longbow and recurve limbs. I should have it next week. Bill called last night and told me had this stock bow and to stop by and pick it up if i wanted to.
The bow is very well mannered. No handshock and good speed. The 60" limbs pull an even 3# per inch out to 30". The 62" limbs pull 3# per inch well past 32". This is Bill"s design and something that he said wanted to do as soon as he bought zipper. The longbow limbs fit the same as the recurve limbs and can be used on the std or the extreme risers.

Ron,
This thing seems to shoot best around 7 1/4" I still need to play with it some to see what's the best.
Mike, I wish i could but i don't get as much time off as you old retired guys! :D I hope you guys have a great trip. You'll like CK. He is alot like Dick only smaller! :scared:
-
DOH! :eek: :smileystooges:
-
Put the Credit card down Norb....just lay it down reaaaaal slow-like....I know you can do it....
-
thats a cool bow man good shooting with it. :thumbsup:
-
Chad,
What woods are you putting into the Extreme longbow that Bill is building for you?
I think that the longbow limbs on the extreme riser will be a natural fit. It will look a bit more symetrical in size and it sounds like it will have plenty of pop.
Chris
-
Chris,
The extreme will be kingwood for the center flare with zebra wood on the outsides. The limbs will be bamboo with kingwood veneers. that bow will be 62" where this one is 60".
Norb, Did you place your order yet? :bigsmyl:
-
Nope. I keep looking at the Thermal limbs for sale over on the classifieds....and I have something cooking with Ray H. in the longbow arena...
My name is Norbert and I am a limb-aholic...
-
Nice lookin bow Chad......new avatar in the makin? :D
-
Chad -- this is all your fault!
Bill updated his "In Stock Bows" page...man, it almost caused me ALOT of trouble...it did cause me a little...a standard riser, with lb limbs (not these, a little lighter colored from another 'instock'...nice to be able and mix and match with whatever is available).
Bill makes it too easy...

Brian,
Thats a nice looking bow. I went to Bill's today so he could fit the grip on my new extreme perfectly. He says it should be done by next weekend.
Terry, Not yet! I only change it if i kill something. :D
-
That curly maple relay jumps out. AWESOME! Great looking bow.
-
Awesome!!!! Now I gotta clean the drool from my keyboard...
