I received this one from Bill about about 2 weeks ago. Finally had a chance to post some pictures of it. Bocote and Zircote Riser, Curly Maple Limbs with Bamboo Cores. 60" 51@28"

Very, very nice! How does the grip feel?
I have one coming as well only will be with longbow limbs. Nice bow
Danny
The grip fits like a glove.
The SXT is the best Zipper riser yet IMO. Beautiful bow!
I'm hoping I can get my hands on one at one of the OSTA shoots this year.
Great looking bow.
That is a sharp one. I really like the arrow in lay, congrats.
Great looking bow. That curley maple just pops out. With a shorter riser and longer working limbs I bet it pulls pretty nice.
What's up with the rounded tips. I like them but all the zippers I've ever seen have square tips.
Chris
Nice bow, what braceheight ya shooting it at? I ask as I need a fairly high brace or I get string slap. Shawn
Those Zipper's are some sharp looking bows,sweet!
Chris,
It's my understanding that Bill puts rounded tips on the SXT. I'm sure you can get the square tips if you want.
Bill
Shawn,
Bill recommends 6 3/4" - 7 3/4" on the SXT. I have been shooting mine at 7 3/4", and it's still really quick. I will probably play around with it a little bit, after I get used to the bow.
Bill
Fine looking bow :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
That's a beauty!!! Enjoy!
The Zipper I had was fast. Mine had the square limb tips, I like the round much better. They don't get any prettier than your new bow.
Very Very pretty!
I have an SXT on order due in a few more months. Cannot wait!!!
Brett
Very nice!
Have also 2 SXT on order, one Carb/foam longbow and one foam recurve for my girlfriend, should come in june!
WOW THAT IS AS NICE AS THEY GET!!!!!!CONGRATULATIONS
Enjoy JW
Wonderful work Bill & Tracy.
By the way,Joe is sorry for the pancake comment at Bob Evans LOL
Gotta love those Zippers, she's a beauty!
Congrats Bill, great to meet you at Kalamazoo also.I shot the foam core longbow limbs SXT at Kalamazoo and thought that the craftsmanship and shooting qualities of Zipper bows was great. First time I had shot one and gklad I did. Flint
nice bow! Yup I made the "mistake" of shooting a SXT recurve at Kzoo. It really impressed me, and I have one at the top of the wish list!
Mine on order also. Carbon/foam longbow limbs. Bill said you can have the tips anyway you like. I have the square on my recurves so I'm getting the round ones on my SXT. He is even grinding sassafras veneers from a failed selfbow attempt for me. C'mon MAY!
I also have longbow limbs on order. Trying to deceide on which ones though. I wasn't smart enough to shoot the longbow limbs at Kalamazoo. :banghead: :banghead: . Guess I was just so impressed with the recurve that I never thought about it. I have always really liked Bamboo cores. Really have no experence with the foam cores.
Bill
JW, I like the bamboo cores but... the foam and carbon limbs seem to ratchet things up another notch. Have fun deciding.
I know I have already commented on this thread. Even though I don't currently shoot a Zipper, I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a great shooting custom bow. I my opinion they are the most bang for your buck and I would not hesitate to buy one.
Bill go with the foam cores at the least. You can thank me after you shoot them. ;)
Ryan,
Your right you sure do get alot for your money. They are probably the nicest recurve I have ever shot. I can't wait to see how the longbow limbs perform. I walked by Bill's booth at Denton Hill for 5 years. I couldn't bring myself to shoot one of his bows. They looked like a $1200 bow. I was very suprised to find out base price is only $750. I should have tried one 5 years ago. :banghead:
Bill
I've only owned four recurves but if I could only keep one it'd be my old Zipper.
It fits my hand, right and shoots where I'm looking...great shooter with plenty of cast.
J
Bill Dunn says that the bamboo core and foam core perform about the same in the recurve limbs. You need to go with the foam and carbon in the longbow limbs to match the recurve limb performance.
I'll be hunting with Bill down at Rays and will get my first chance to try one. Can't wait!

Norb,
Make sure you put it through the paces, and give me a report when you get back. I would really appreciate it. Good luck on your hunt!!! When are you going??
Bill
