Beautiful bows! :thumbsup:
I was looking over some of the bows we have been working on lately,and I thought you all might like a look.
More to come!!
Bill
WOW, them are nice looking Bill and I know they shoot as good as they look to. Thanks for sharing. Flint
Outstanding..It doesnt get any better than that!
in the first pic of the limbs what kind of wood are the limbs that are fourth from the left made of? i need to get me some of that ;)
SWEET!!! I don't think I could choose just one favorite out of that group!
:notworthy:
Bowmaster12 that veneer is flat cutt Zebrawood,it is getting pretty tough to get.Those limbs are now on their way to Italy.
Bill
Is that cacciatore getting another beautiful bow!

This bow was recently sent to Australia, just another example.
I actually saw my first "in person" Zipper at the Kentucky Klassic this past weekend and Wow are they a nice looking piece of wood. Beautiful work Bill.
Bill,
Beautiful Bows as always, I have almost settled on an arrow for the SXT at 520gr.
Pat
Very nice.
Beautifull work,but I know Bill Szympruch will be expecting pics of his limbs.
Thanks folks!Im glad you like them.More pictures tomorrow.
Mark the riser on the far right of the second picture is Bill's new one.Im still working on the limbs.
So Pat, what arrow have you settled on?Carbon?
Bill
You are an artisan...........
:notworthy:
Bill, those bows are absolutely beautiful! Looks like you have been busy!
Bill
Hope you have a couple left handers at Denton I am liking the way Bill's shoots but it is to long,heavy and backward for me.
See you at Denton MARK
Bill you are killin me!! Flat out BEAUTIFUL :notworthy:
A great display of fine looking bows!
Those are some awesome bows.
I'm watching you :archer2:
Bill,
Yes carbon arrow. The set up it seems to like best is a ICS Hunter 400 spine 29.5 inches long with 50gr insert and 150gr head that comes in at about 485gr. I have a few of the old CE Terminator Hunters (Buff Tuff) in 45-60 that are 29.25 inches long and with the same insert and point set up they weigh in at 520gr shoot flat at 30 yards!! Not bad for a 46 pound bow!
Pat
Zipper those are all beautiful
:thumbsup: sweet.
beautiful bows.awesome detail work
(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e305/zipperbows/P1010446.jpg)
Just a few more
Bill
What do you think of the all Mekasser Ebony with the antler accents?(the first one on the second picture on page 1)Im a little undecided,I think it could have used some accent stripes.What do you think?
Bill
Nice bows Bill. :archer2:
First page, first picture... all the way to the right.... simply beautiful! What are the woods?
Tks for the photos!
David
Bill,
Which one of those beauty's is going with you to SC?
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :clapper: :clapper:
-the all Macassar ebony riser with antler is the "dark knight" of the bunch. It doesn't need any accents, it speaks for itself. It's the riser that catches my eye.
Bill
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful Work Bill
Top stuff :thumbsup: :clapper:
Very nice work.
Eye candy for sure,
Love the Risers and the Limbs
Great awesome work!!!
you are truly a master with wood
I think the maccasar ebony with antler is the best looking one of the bunch. It is clean and simple and I really like that. All your bows are beautiful but I like that one and the one far right in the photo on page two the best. Thanks for sharing, Travis.
I will agree the Macasser Ebony is perfect the way it is, but then I prefer darker woods and a little understated.
All of them are nice!!!!
Even Felix's :wavey:
It would be better without the antler! But that's just me. Sent you an email about string length Bill, if you get done taking pictures of these beauties....
David, That riser is Kingwood and Figured Zebrawood.
Chris, I will be bringing my Zebrawood and Cocobolo riser (the one you and Lary spent some time with)with Zebrawood and Carbon Evolution limbs.
Thanks for the opinions on the Ebony riser.I have wanted to build one like that for quite some time.I think Ebony, Bocote, and Bubinga will all make good looking single wood risers.Did you notice the all Bocote riser with the 4 black stripes.I think that will also be a popular combination.
Bill
SO when are you updating the stock bow page again?
So much candy! LOL
Im trying to get some limbs together now. IT is going to be a couple of weeks yet.
Turkey season starts in the a.m. so Im betting there will be some mornings lost to the woods. :bigsmyl: That is a pretty safe bet.
Looking good!!
Hi Bill,
They all great but I think the arrow inlay bow on page one is the nicest, but seeing as it is coming to me I might be a bit biased.
Actually the one pictured is for the wife and I have the matching bow but in right hand coming.
Looking forward to getting them.
Les

Without a doubt the best of the bunch!I love the arrow inlays you do Bill.
I know from experience all these bows shoot awesome. Cannot beat the Zipper grip either! :thumbsup:
They are all gorgeous bows,also mine,LOL;but I like the way that Ebony riser, with the antler's overlays,looks.Maybe it is the prettiest.
Bill, your bows are beautiful and great shooting bows to boot. I really liked one that I shot at Kalamazoo. Best shooting bow that I have ever shot.
Hey Les,be sure and let me know how you and Ann like your new bows.Nothing wrong with being a little biased,especialy when the pictured bow belongs to you. :thumbsup:
Felix,one of our friends tried to talk me out of your limbs before I got them boxed up to be sent to you.I told him not a chance!!As long as you had to wait you would probebly make the trip over from Italy just to open up a can of WUPA$$!
It seems the all Ebony riser is a hit.Thanks for all the comments it helps make the long days more worthwhile when folks appreciate what you are doing.
Bill
Bill, The bow pictured above appears to have curly maple instead of phenolics/glass accents. I'm hoping so, 'cause thats what I've chosen for the SXT Kingwood/Tulipwood on your building backlog. By the way, hope you get your turkey fast so you can get back to building those bows, especially the one mentioned above. I'm sure those of us on your list could all go together and tie up some ol turkeys in your back yard to keep the bow making progress go smoothly.
Kevin.
Bill! You got some kind of pretty eye candy for sure. If my wife would not shoot me I would have take one of each. LOL! Dang, way to hard to pick just one!! Enjoyed the pictures...
I really like the look of that ebony/antler riser Bill. My eye was drawn right to it. I would love to see a shot of it from front and back if you get a chance.
Are any of these stock bows or all spoken for?

Hey Bill I hope that was just a typing error about coming over from Italy and thats not where the bows were sent LOL. Just a little bit to far from Australia for me to pick them up. Will give you a call once they have arrived though.
Les
Bill,thanks to protect my treasure!Fortunatly a good friend will deliver it. (http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx293/dazzafelix/Zipper-EvolutionSXP.jpg)
(http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx293/dazzafelix/ZipperSXT-Evolution.jpg)
Bill,
You just had to do that. Making my wait a whole lot harder. :thumbsup: Can't wait to see the limbs!!!
Bill
That last one sent to Australia is absolutely georgous. I especially love the limbs.
Bill, I believe Felix has a very good choice of wood combinations! Good looking Bows!
Benjy
Kevin It sure does,curly maple instead of phenolic.
Elkchaser I have a couple of pictures for you.When Tracy gets home from work I will see if she will post them for us.Im not smart enough to do it myself.Several of the risers pictured are going to be stock bows,including the all Mekassar Ebony with anter accents.
No worries Les, your bows are headed to Australia.
Bill

That Mekassar Ebony with the Antler accents is a Beauty make a lefty for Denton and you may sell it to someone I know. :thumbsup:
Sure are purty!!! :thumbsup:
Bill, I dont think you have every made an ugly bow. And they shoot great to.
All these pretty risers, make me want to order another bow!!! :goldtooth: Bill, You really know how to confuse a guy with all these different woods. :biglaugh:
Bill
Thanks Bill and Tracy.
That maccasser with antler does look great.
Decisions, Decisions.
Good Looking Stuff right there....I like the split accent risers!
