Title: Christmas in March, pics added,Dye pics added
Post by: Danny Rowan on March 10, 2009, 08:42:00 PM
:goldtooth:        :goldtooth:    

I feel like a kid at Christmas. Went to the P.O. today to pick up a package that the P.O. had that almost got sent back cause they put the notice in the wrong box. Guess what, 3 packages.

One from Zipper with my new SXT longbow.
One from Canada with my new Dale Dye Medicine Point.
One from Texas with my Bear type 1 C riser and two sets of limbs.

Will most likely sell the C riser and target limbs, only wanted the set of white tips for my A riser.

The other two are staying right here.

Only one unpacked is the Zipper and it is a beauty, hope to be able to shoot it today.

I will post pics in a day or two of all three bows. I gotta go unpack the others,LOL.

Oh nooooooooo.. Not again. Let's see the pictures, Come on Danny. I want to see a group of how that Zipper shoots. You can't keep teasing like this.

Congrats on getting to post office in time. Man what a scary thought having them sent back only to have to wait again.  :banghead:

OK,OK,LOL,

Here are some pics of the Zipper SXT longbow. All I can say is oh my goodness!!! Fianlly a longbow I can shoot as well as my Brack Quest. The group in the pic is the very first group from 25 yards, I would say it likes my CE Heritage 250s. It is 62",61#@28",amazing zebrawood and bacote riser with boo limbs covered in equally amazing flat grain zebrawood vaneers.

For me Steve the SXT riser has it all over the Extreme and Standard. According to the way their selling Bill tells me I'm far from alone in feeling that way.

Nice bow Danny.  

I love the pile of targets. 7 if I counted right.
 
Made me laugh.

Oooh and speaking of counting, I think you owe us pics of two more bows.

Thanks everyone.

I shot this bow for hours yesterday and I just love it. Hits where I look, fast and a looker. Raining today so will have to play the waiting game on getting the other two up.

The Dye is outstanding also, prettiest Dye I have owned and a real shooter.

LOL, yeah, there is a pile of targets but most of them are used as a back stop, jungle is behind them. I do not miss very often but when I do if the backstop was not there I would never find the errant arrow. I shoot at the deer,yellow jacket and Reinheart block, plus there is a pig target that is not in the pic.

I will try hard to get some pics up of the other two bows today.

Here are some pics of the Dye Medicine Point, 58",59#@27"(about 64# at my draw),ebony riser with bacote stripe and red and yellow points,checkered grip,stained medicine wood limbs.Great bow and pics cannot do it justice. Still have a little bit of tuning to do to get it as quiet as I want.

Danny,

Again I am really happy you are pleased with the bow.  Alway a little nervous selling bows.

It looks great in your standard picture format.  I am sure she will be well taken care of.  Now let's see some bloody photos with her in it.

Enjoy,

James

Danny, now it is time of the Type ONE A riser???!!
Title: Re: Christmas in March, pics added,Dye pics added
Post by: Danny Rowan on March 12, 2009, 05:59:00 PM
Ciao Feliciano, come sta? The A riser is not here yet, do have a C riser that I will shoot in a day or two. Probably gonna sell it though. It came with a set of #3 limbs that will make a 60" bow on my A riser and will be 65#@28" on it. They are the correct style limbs for the A riser.Gold lettering and all.

Chris, LOL, I hate to say never when it comes to bows, there are 5 on the rack that I can say that about, my Quest,Taiga,Blacktail,Zipper, and Sunbear, I believe this one will be added to the list,LOL.

Post by: cacciatore on March 13, 2009, 09:19:00 AM
Keep those #3 limbs,sell the C target riser since you don't want to collect Bear TD. What kind of difference do you feel on your Zipper between the recurve and the lomgbow limbs? Your Spaghetti are ready with Parmigiano as we prefere them in N. Italy.

Yeah, you better do some more tuning on the Dye...the arrows aren't touching yet!  ;)   Those are some beauties. Love the wood! That Zipper looks like a shooter...oh no, see what you've done! How easily my mind drafts to thinking of specs and ordering another bow! Oh no...I hear my wife walking down the hall...have to go!    :biglaugh:

Hey Danny,I just found this thread today.If that is the kind of groups you usualy shoot,I will have to send you my bow for training!  :notworthy:   Im glad you like her, there is alot of satisfaction in seeing a person so pleased with one of our bows.It makes my day every time!!So far the SXT has been a real pleaser wether it is dressed as a recurve or longbow.

Danny,

That is the best looking Dye Medicine Point I've ever seen.  In fact, I'm not too sure but what it's not the best looking bow I've ever seen.  Had I seen pictures of it I would have been tempted to have bought, even though I can't draw it!  Thanks for buying it BEFORE I saw it and posting pics so I could see it!  :)

Bill

Post by: Danny Rowan on March 14, 2009, 03:55:00 AM
Bill, I shoot fairly well,LOL.But this bow makes me shoot better, just like my Quest. There are just some bows that fit the shooter better. Trust me I have tried a bunch of longbows since switching to shooting recurves and this is the only one that I can shoot and need no adjustment in the way I do my shot,and I am as consistant with it as I am with my recurves,same arrows as my Quest. Other longbows, I can shoot them one day and the next I am all over the place, not so with this one, I am always on with it from the first shot of the day until the last, my other bows are getting very jealous cause they are not getting shot.Like I told you,LOL, if you would of had this bow several years ago and if I would have shot it then, I could of saved a ton of money,LOL. If I had to sell all my bows, this one would stay right here along with my Quest. Thank you sir for building this fine bow for me.

The other Bill,LOL, yep it is the prettiest Dye I have ever owned or seen. But then all my bows are pretty,LOL.At least in my eyes.

Danny
