Title: Want to shoot a new Zipper?
Post by: vermonster13 on May 17, 2009, 08:16:00 PM
The Dunns just called me and are in route. They'll be in Rutland VT tomorrow. We'll do some shooting Tuesday night for anyone who would like to meet them and try their bows.

PM me and I'll give you and address.

If you'd like to turkey hunt we'll be doing that Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.

Dave, Check to see if they have a SXT with sassafras limbs with carbon and foam. I have a feeling he is pimping out my bow and making me wait on purpose  :banghead:

Hey David...ya'll have a blast!  Shoot one for me..about 48 @ 28 with a medium/medium low grip 60 inches long.  If it works could you go ahead and pick it up for me? lol   :)   Good luck to you guys and gals next week and hope to see lots of picks. And by the way, long bow limbs!
Thanks in advance!
Randy

By the way, I know you all have seen pics of or shot
the Standard, Extreme and SXT risers. When I say new Zipper, I mean riser number 4 is supposed to be here. I've been sworn to not share the pics of it, but it's supposed to be here to play with. So if you come, you get to be one of the first.    :bigsmyl:

It's supposed to be a surprise, but they're on the road and not online so.............lol

Sorry RC. Already did the Mother's Day giveaway. Won't be another one until next month. I can offer you some good company, bows to shoot and birds to drive you crazy.

David,
I wish I could make it. Sure sounds like alot of fun. Do me a favor and shoot the SXT longbow limbs with Carbon/Foam & the Bamboo Core Limbs and give me a report. I was stupid at Kalamazoo and only shot the SXT recurve. Then after buying one deceided longbow limbs would be nice to have. Still don't know why I didn't shoot them while I was there.  :notworthy:    :notworthy:

Oh great! Your on Bill's side while the rest of us wait, and wait, and wait! I didn't say that out loud. Bill said if I complained it added more time. Can't wait to see the new riser at Compton's. Is it metal?
Title: Re: Want to shoot a new Zipper?
Post by: vermonster13 on May 17, 2009, 09:29:00 PM
You have to attend to see. It's a prototype. Though he may not let me touch it, I've already told him a couple of things he needs to change on it. lol

David,
You mean Bill has out a new riser.  :eek:  I just got my SXT a couple of months ago. Now I might have to get another Zipper.  :banghead:    :banghead:  Can't wait to see it at Denton Hill.

Not out yet Bill. It's in the testing stages right now.
Title: Re: Want to shoot a new Zipper?
Post by: Pinecone on May 17, 2009, 10:21:00 PM
I hear the SXTs have a finer, narrower grip than the originals.  If this new prototype has the same anatomy, I just might have to give one a spin someday.  Let us know what you think, Dave.  You know how we all LOVE new bow reports!!!!

Been out in the backyard for a while. Bill just went to check on Tracy(she has a paper she's writing). I still haven't shot one of his bows, he's been shooting mine! LOL
Title: Re: Want to shoot a new Zipper?
Post by: vermonster13 on May 18, 2009, 09:03:00 PM
Had some fun this afternoon. The new riser shows promise. The SXT is excellent. Going to take an SXT out for turkeys with Bill and Tracy tomorrow morning. Wish us luck!
Title: Re: Want to shoot a new Zipper?
Post by: owlbait on May 18, 2009, 09:07:00 PM
Dave, if that paper was a PPO for me to quit harassing Zipper Bows please tell Bill and Tracy I will not call, send e-mails, or write letters until I hear my bow is done  :bigsmyl:  
Have fun with the SXT. I hope Bill is wise enough to listen to your ideas.

We will take pics and Bill is going to film the hunt tomorrow. I'm hoping Izzy sees this. He's suppose to come up tomorrow and there is a beautiful Elk Antler riser here his cousin ordered that he could pick up early if they make it up.

Post by: Pinecone on May 18, 2009, 10:32:00 PM
Be sure to give us your impressions of the new riser, Dave.  Good luck with those turkeys.  I hope you get to tag a big one!

I took Bill and Tracy up to where we'll be hunting this afternoon and there was a nice one feeding in the posted field all by his lonesome. They'd been feeding pretty good on my side of the fence earlier this morning by the looks of it.

David I just ordered an SXT and now you say a new riser is in the works. Kimber will not let me order two. Sigh I will have to be content with the SXT. LOL Any Pics????
Title: Re: Want to shoot a new Zipper?
Post by: vermonster13 on May 19, 2009, 07:06:00 AM
There will be pics tonight, but not of the new riser. It is in prototype stage right now and three or four changes will be made before it becomes a reality.

Nice bows!

Well no blood today. Lots of birds and a pack of jakes that busted us when we were moving to the second spot. I am expecting we've got them figured out pretty well and the early crew will hopefully put some blood on the ground tomorrow.

Now to the hard part of shooting some Zippers. The things we do to help out our friends.    :D

Pics later tonight.

Donald will be very happy with his SXT riser, it shoots very well. It is in the other Zipper thread right now.
