Picked up a Zipper SXT recurve at KZoo - 58", 51 at 28. Zebra and Bacote riser with the carbon foam limbs. Limbs have Olive Ash burl on the belly. Riser is still shown on the Zipper site. This is a nice bow!!! I have shot Zippers in the past and did not have the urge to buy one. Shot this one at the show and was sold!!! Just finished shooting it again (did not have a great urge to watch the half time show with Madonna). If you are in the market for a new 3 piece, you should give one a try!!
I would be out shooting my Zipper rather than watch Madonna also.
Sounds like a great bow. I think that is the one some guy told me he just bought so I wouldn't touch it. I need a 60" bow anyway. :D
Wow - sounds like a good lookin' bow! Pics?
I love a Zipper!!!! Congrats on the new bow!
I wish I was shooting as well.

I shot today, but I'm saving my Zipper ZSR for next weekend. It doesn't get any better than picking up a bow from Bill and Tracy at KaZoo. I don't think I've ever seen a Zipper with olive ash burl veneeers. Would love to see some pics also.
Never heard of this Madonna bow but Zipper is a legend!
Pics please! you just can't tease us like that!!
Love them Zippers!!!!!
Glad you like it Mel, they are "Top shelf"! Bill's new limbs are fantastic.
I just picked up a new pair of SXT Evolution limbs,,,, outstanding and I have a new SXT riser coming. Always a pleasure dealing with Bill and I love to shoot a Zipper. Top Shelf in my opinion.
I was actually a little sad to see that one go. The riser woods and limb veneers are soooooo nice!I'm glad you are enjoying it.
Bill
These are great bows, congrats
I wish I had been able to miss more
of the halftime Show
Bill makes one fine looking bow. They don't shoot so bad either.

Hard to tell, but the back is a gray carbon. Bow looks better in person, and shoot better than it looks.
beautiful bow!
Holy cow is that thing nice!
Sweeeeeeet!!!!
Oh baby....that's a nice one!!!!
I think I was in Zipper's booth when you bought it cause I asked Tracy if I could snap a quick picture of it and she said I better ask the new owner :D
That is amazing! Congratulations!
I have been checking out some of the ILF risers that are out there now and these Zipper risers are some of the most beautiful risers I have seen. I bet they look even better in person. Great looking stuff here too.
The only thing I am not sure about is the finger "frooves" on the front of the riser. Don't know if I'd like 'em or not. Small thing though.
I'd really like to have one.

Nala,you'll love those finger grooves!
This bows are much better in person and a joy to shoot.
Wow, that is a looker
WOW that's a awesome looking.
Looks better in person? Dang! I like that! I can't remember seeing bacote and zebrawood together like that. Very nice.
Best looking Zipper I ever seen...Hands Down!!!!!!
Jealous doen't begin to describe it!!!
Sweet! You'll have a hard time shooting another bow now...
Beautiful looking bow Irish.
That Bill really is an artist.
Very nice
Sharp looking SXT !!! :thumbsup: Really liked the looks of that one at Kalamazoo. :notworthy:
Bill
Great looking bow. :thumbsup:
I have never shot a Zipper but they are high on my "want to" list.
Wow! Awesome veneers!!!
Beautiful Zip! Congrats!
Man that looks good! Love those ash veneers. That riser reminds me of cinammon rolls - in a good way of course. :notworthy:
Have almost the same set up, and love shooting that bow, but was stuck watching Madonna at someone's house. :dunno:
That's a beauty Mel :thumbsup: :clapper:

After seeing those woods together makes me think
maybe a third zipper. Hmmm
The best looking Zipper I`ve seen.
Zipper bows' popularity has taken much longer to take off than I had expected.
Just the great dealings with Bill and his wife should have had the bows moving at a quicker pace. They should be taking off and presenting Bill with substantial orders to keep him quite challenged for time.
