Title: New Gator Hunting Bow "Zipper" SXT ***UPDATED **** Hero Shots pg2****
Post by: Benjy on July 17, 2010, 08:15:00 PM
After shooting Bill's Bows at ATAR last year, I fell in love with the SXT handle and the 60" recurve limbs. In the process of me deciding on my wood combinations he came out with the "Evolution" limbs (Talk about iceing on the cake!).

It is a SXT handle 48@28" 60" recurve flat cut zebra wood limbs.
I drew a SC Gator tag this year and have full intentions of filling my tag with this bow!

Nice Benjy, even if you are a ProStaff rat! Those white stripes really look great. Another awesome Zipper! Get the gator before it gets you.

Mike, he asked me if I wanted "Bill" or "Tracy" on my arm guard. How about yours?

Bill, "Rock Chucker" Is a very appropriate name. Thanks again for an awesome bow!!

Boy, I don't know Benjy.  The guy that is taking us gator hunting said not to bring a bow we would cry about losing.  If you lose that bow during a wild tussle with a 10' lizard I think you're gonna be crying.  
What a beauty!!

Steve, I have my fourth Zipper on order. Great looking, great shooting bows. Bad thing though, I think he might be a Buckeye fan.  :knothead:

Steve, just click on the link In Bill's post and call him. He and Tracy are two outstanding top of the line people and excellent to talk with.

Mike, My tag is for here in SC. I offered for Whip to stay here if he was driving down but he says he is flying. I saw your post and your picture for the Master ProStaff Limited Edition club, I think I'll just sit that one out for a while   :nono:  

This bow will be in the boat set up to shoot a gator. I may have to take my wife or daughter for a bow rack for after the shot!!

Gator was 8'3" it had 6" of it's tail missing. We would guess around 200 lbs. Still working on the story.

Zmonster, from what I can tell, they do not have a "soft" spot in there head. You have to sever the spine to kill them quickly. The nerves where still jumping 5 hours later when I was skinning him.
