Title: Zipper SXT - Back in the stable
Post by: Over&Under on May 23, 2012, 03:33:00 PM
Irish (Mel Riley) offered up a beauty that even surpassed that of my first one, perfect specs, and a matching quiver...I pounced!      :readit:    

Boy am I glad I did!  This thing is gorgeous, and shoots like I knew it would.  My memories of that perfect SXT grip, the quiet smooth performace of the EVO Recurve limbs were now a reality!

Bill is a craftsman and his design is second to none - believe me I have had almost every bow out there      :knothead:    
Here are a few pics that don't even show the true look of this beauty...did I mention it performs?

Waiting patiently (somewhat!) for my name to come up.
That's a beauty you have. I'm getting the matching quiver, too.

Congrats Jake, I am glad you have an SXT again. It sure is a looker, of course about all of Bill's bows are. You know it is hard to beat a Zipper!

"did I mention it performs? Oh and doesnt sacrifice good manners to do it."

This man has shot a pile of bows. So this statement carries some weight fellas.

Got my new Nitro today Jake, you are gonna like yours.

Looking forward to some finished pics Tom...glad you like it. Mine should be in action soon.


Back to your comment about shooting a pile of bows...it's true, almost sickening how many bows have gone through my hands, some twice over. I have managed to get over the remorse of selling all of them except the SXT.  I knew that I would and had to have anothe one.

Bills SXT has everything...plenty of speed, hunting quiet, smooooooooth draw, no stack, solid feel at the end of the shot with no vibration, forgiving, balanced, perfect and repeatable grip, excellent fit and finish....it has shootability!

Well done Bill!  
After my Nitro arrives I see no need to sell/trade anymore.

When I read the title to this thread,I said to myself, "yeh Right" and sure enough by page 2 the maker is gonna talk him out of it,
AND THEN, he makes this statement,"After my Nitro arrives I see no need to sell/trade anymore."

I am so proud to see the growth in you young Jacob, Makes me well up inside.
 :p  

Seriously tho, That is a fine looking shooting iron,er a a I mean Wood(?).

Nice job as always Bill and congrats to my man Jake,
Have a good weekend all
