Just got this Tiger Stripe risered Zipper today. One of the prettiest risers I've seen. Thought I'd share a pic(sorry it doesn't come close to doing justice).

Being a woodworker I have a real soft spot for curly (Tiger Maple) Oh yeah the bow looks good too.
Stunning Dave.....
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Very nice. Do you have a shot of the entire bow?
I think Tiger Maple is awesome!
Sweet!
that is just awesome bro!! :clapper:
thats neat!
The limbs are just black glass with Tiger Maple wedges. I don't have a pic of the whole bow yet but will take some when I get a chance to shoot it some.
Very nice indeed!
Josh
Really sharp!!!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :campfire:
Awesome! :thumbsup:
wow!!! - What a Beauty!! Enjoy it Dave...
Dave now I really have to make it a point to get over there and shoot one morning after we both get the kids off to school. That looks sweet.
Thats a pretty sweet looking riser!!!!!!
What do you mean, shoot it some first then you will send us more pictures? :-)
Dave, I'm enjoying this "Zipper phase" you're going through! I've never gotten over mine :D
Hey Chris all Zipper Bows come with a restraining order against you since Ohio.
It won't be strung up until I get to shoot it lt-m-grow. Been shoveling and cleaning up ice today.
Norb, I've never left the phase, I just space it out some. Show up for Shawn's bunny hunt and you'll get to shoot a new SXT with some special limbs ;)
Aw, now that just aint fair! You could sense my continuous indecision about whether to order one didn't ya? :help:

Being a woodworker myself, I'll second that! We always called it Fiddle-back maple. Looks like a hand rubbed oil finish Dave? That wood/finish combo can make a block of wood a thing of beauty!
Ron
Norb I sent you a PM to help you out with that indecision. ;)
That's about as nice of a figured piece of curly maple I have ever seen. I doubt you could ever replace it.
Ya bringing that to the Bunny Hunt? Very nice! Shawn
Very nice Dave, Bill does some fantastic work! :thumbsup:
you do seem to find them..... :thumbsup:
This one found me Bob. I got an extra set of limbs with it for a different riser I have. I won't post pics of those until Norb is a little more healed up though. Hate to be responsible for him having #2.
Shawn, Bill is making up a bow special for the JLMBH. A SXT with foam cores LB limbs and maybe a little extra in the limbs if things come together. The Bunny hunt guys will be among the first to shoot these limbs.
Oh what the heck, Norm look at your risk. lol

I WILL BE TRYING MY FIRST ZIPPER IN A MONTH OR SO, GOT AN SXT ON ORDER. ACTUALLY , BILL HAD THE LIMBS I WANTED IN STOCK BUT HE HAS TO BUILD ME A RISER CAUSE THE RISER I WANTED WAS ALREADY GONE. SHOULD BE A BEAUTY, CATHEDERAL GRAIN ZEBRAWOOD LIMBS AND THE RISER WILL BE ZEBRA AND BACOTE WITH BLACK ACCENTS.
Wow! Matches my buddy's dog. I gotta show him this bow. He's gonna freak.
I have a buddy with a Pit Bull named Tiger Lily that is a match for it also. lol
Vermonster, you a native? I grew up there. Still have a lot of family up there.
Born and raised.
Nice :thumbsup:
GGGGRRRRR!!!
Ok Dave, we've seen the parts, now you need to put it all together and strike a few poses!
Danny, it's hard to believe that you've yet to shoot a Zipper. We all know that, like a good sailor, you've been around a little. :D
Not many people have shot the new SXT, including me so don't limit your judgement of Zippers on the newest little cutie. Knowing which bows you've seemed to like, be sure to try both the standard and extreme regular risers too. I can send you my Extreme for a try out if you promise not to run away with her.
I am considering to buy one me too,do they shoot good as they look?
Only pic I could get before the camera battery died.

Superb! :thumbsup: :clapper:
I like the fact that the maple is not too blond, it almost looks like an old muzzleloader stock!
That is a great looking bow.
How does she shoot?
F-Manny
She shoots great Manny. The only problem is the fellow I got it from thought it was about 50@28 and it's got to be 60@28 and close to 65@30. Heavier than I like anymore. The bow doesn't have any markings on it so I had to pull her back to find ouch er I mean out.
Purdy!
True, you have a real long draw!
That's a real looker!
yes she is. I'm going to talk to Bill and see if he can do any magic on her. She's to sweet to give up on.
Nice looking wood there!!!
If you were a recurve guy I'd send her to you Terry. She's right in the weight you like at your draw.
