I do.

Beautifully crafted, beautiful woods. The fit and finish is flawless. Curley Maple has a look all it's own. Shoots as quickly and quietly as any bow I've ever owned.

And Bill and Tracey are first class folks.

I love my Zipper extreme. Wonderful craftsmanship, and simply the most pointable design I've shot. The grip is amazing, fits my hand like a glove. They are fast, quiet, and pack a punch.

Bill and Tracy are wonderful people and will work with you through all steps of the process. You will not be disappointed.

Luck fell on me one day and I purchased a mint condition STX with longbow limbs with Carbon an Foam cores.It came with the matching two piece quiver in exactly the length and weight I wanted.Its got a fantastic checkered grip and in all honesty shoots as fast as my go to recurves.I have never shot a faster or more accurate bow right from the start.The workmanship is with the best made today.You can't go wrong with a Zipper.

Bill makes great bows and is an awesome guy

Title: Re: zipper bows...who has them?
Post by: cacciatore on January 07, 2011, 08:07:00 AM

bill is a very nice guy and this is a plus,but when you buy a bow you want performances.I own something like 90 bowa and at least 12 custom bowyers bows,the top ones.Well the Zipper is on the very top of them. I have a XST with recurve Evolution limbs and I can't be more happy with it.craftmanship is really at the best,woods are hand selected with great care to details.The bow is maybe the quitest recurve I own,fast accurate and forgiving.In the beginning I was afraid that being so light(like a LB)and with a very low brace heigh it could be unstable,I was wrong death in the hands like none.I think it is one of the best designed bows ever.IMHO.

Title: Re: zipper bows...who has them?
Post by: GRINCH on January 07, 2011, 08:49:00 AM

I have two of the sxt risers one with recurve limbs the other with long bow limbs.I can't praise them enough,they are beautiful bow that are excellent shooters,quiet,smooth and spot on,you can't go wrong with a zipper.Bill and Tracy are wonderful people to work with so go ahead and order.

The Extreme on the right has been my long term, go-to bow. Bill just let me know he is about done with a set of his newest hot shot limbs for it...

I bought a standard riser recurve from Bill a few years ago. I shot one at Kalamazoo and bought it right there I liked it so much. Looks good too!

They look like great bows. But I don't have enough cash to even think about buying one haha.

Title: Re: zipper bows...who has them?
Post by: zipper bowss on January 07, 2011, 04:48:00 PM

Good news sawtoothscream.I am working on a bare bones hunter model.The riser choices will be either brown or black dymalux and the limbs will be either brown or black glass.They will have brown or black actionwood limb cores.These bows will have the classic limb design,but with an upgrade for some extra performance.As soon as I get a couple of them completed I will post pictures.

As you can see I own 2 different Zipper SXT's. By far my favorite bows !! The grip fits my hand like a glove. They are very quick, and whisper quiet, and just plain shoot great !!! Plus you would have to look very hard to find any better people than Bill and Tracy Dunn. :clapper:

Title: Re: zipper bows...who has them?
Post by: owlbait on January 07, 2011, 06:09:00 PM

I currently own 3 Zippers. A standard riser,a SXT, and a ZSR. The Standard 60",was my first and a real plain jane, but sooo smooth and quiet. I kept it and now have it carbon film dipped and use it for bowfishing. I could take the bowfishing gear off today and be very happy with how it shoots. The SXT 60", has Evolution limbs with carbon/foam. Again, beautiful bow, smooth, quiet and fast. My favorite off all is my ZSR 58" with Evolution limbs and the Accelerator limb wedges. Prettiest of the 3 and a more custom grip. A new Zipper "Hunter" model must be about as good as it gets for a few less bucks! Plus, and not to be understated, Bill and Tracy are the finest peple to deal with.

Post by: 684Kevin on January 07, 2011, 06:31:00 PM

Attached are photos of my 2nd Zipper SXT. Bow is now a month old and is by far the best longbow I've owned. This bow is super quiet with no felt vibration at all in my hand. 58# @ 28" 64" Carbon & Foam longbow limbs. Riser is Kingwood & Tulipwood with Curly Maple accents/striping. Limbs are Kingwood & Carbon. Thanks Bill & Tracy for a great product.

Post by: Hopewell Tom on January 08, 2011, 08:45:00 AM

I have specs and wood combos on a page beside me right now. Price is up there, but the results are there to go with it apparently. One thing I've found is that it's hard for the pictures to do the real thing justice. Therefore they must be wondrous to hold. And to shoot. I love the matching quiver.
Big fight with myself vs a TallTines, but it's basically a coin toss there.
Really just have to figure out the money...

I have an SXT with evolution recurve limbs carbon foam core. There are very few bows I have owned in the same lbs that could even come close to the performance of it. The grip is very comfortable as well.

Great product from the fellas at Zipper!~

I just thought I would let everyone know That I placed my order with Bill today. He was very, very helpful and took a lot of time explaining everything about Zipper bows. I will post pics of it when it gets here in May.....It's going to be a long wait, But it is going to be well worth it!!!

Can't wait to hear from you when you get it and what you think of it.

Maybe then you will trade me for the Sanders :D :thumbsup:

Post by: Ray Hammond on January 12, 2011, 08:36:00 AM

Been shooting a standard since 1988- also the new short-risered extreme by Bill- you cannot go wrong with their bows

My standard riser of curly maple and shedua is just a perfect weight to carry all day after elk or Ina stand after Whitetails

They're quiet stable and the service before and after the sale puts them in the "elite" class for me!!!

I have a Zipper standard made in 1998. Got it used at Denton Hill. I now have an extra set of longbow limbs , both are the same poundage. It has become my travel hunting bow. One case and riser ,2 sets of limbs at the same weight, a real nice set up. Oh, I forgot ....they shoot and look good also!!

I first shot a Zipper at a Traditional event they use to have in St. Clairsville, Ohio. After only one shot I knew I had to have. I ended up buying a used on one here because I was getting married and didnt have much money laying around. I will eventually order another one from Bill. They are great bows. I am always shooting other peoples bows just to see how they compare to my Zipper, and havent found one yet that does.

Norb,

Heck ya we could make that happen. Need to have Bill come over while he is at it.

My brother has been seeing (noticed I didn't say shooting) some really good bucks down at his place. All the land I hunt on up here in NW MO is through friends or family but we could probably put something in the works. I just saw 15 deer on Mark Harris' place on Jan 8th. Remember your chainsaw snoring roommate from the TX Sweat III, thats him.

The supermodel is to counter act all the ugly in those pictures.You know checks and balances,or beauty and the beast if you prefer. :goldtooth:

Charlie why would be guarantee you a Pope and Young when there are Boone and Crockets in them there woods?Did you notice how I slipped right around your question without saying no I cant guarantee you a big buck.Those snake oil salesman classes are starting to pay off. :biglaugh: Sorry Charlie,cant make that guarantee.

Bill,
Will your ILF riser be in a short SXT? If so, you might have hard time moving me out of your booth at Denton this year :) Doc

Here's a few pics of my favorite bow as of now - it not only looks good but it's a great shooter. I'm looking forward to seeing Bill and Tracy at Kalamazoo!

Post by: Izzy on January 17, 2011, 12:31:00 PM

I sold one Zipper to my Cuz with the understanding that its mine again when he tires of it (probably never). I have one left right now that was my first trad bow and killed my first trad deer with. So,,, 3 Zippers and Ill be real happy.

I've never seen a Zipper with the riser wood lay up like Izzy's riser! I like it, and I love some of the curly maple Zipper uses! Especially the curly maple arrow inlay limbs. Sweet bows guys

Congrats on adding to your collection.

And everyone keep the pics of Zippers coming.

Post by: Izzy on January 17, 2011, 05:39:00 PM

Ron, I bet I can get em when I want. Ive got some bait set aside already. The reason I sold them is as I told you " A Three Piece Longbow Is A Three Piece Recurve With Straight Limbs".

I orderd a SXT with carbon and foam evolution limbs. I am sure that it will be worth the wait.

Grinch,

I want one when can we order one, and whats the cost? I was wondering what the two holes are for in the top and bottom of the riser, they look like pins to me. Just curious The middle one is awesome looking whats the wood combe in that one? thanks

Very very nice!!

Title: Re: zipper bows...who has them?
Post by: zipper bowss on January 21, 2011, 07:09:00 AM

The middle riser is my SXT riser.It is not ILF.I just needed something to hold the other 2 risers up so the ILF fittings could be seen.My SXT is Zebrawood and Cocobolo with Mekassar Ebony stripes.

The ILF version of our risers will be a $40 upgrade.I am realy excited about these ILF risers.I will also have the ILF version of our standard(15) and Extreme(15) risers at Kalalmazoo.I am also considering on offering a 17" version of the Extreme riser.
