I started researching Zippers a couple months ago. I started combing classifieds. What I found was people saying how great they are and the are very rarely for sale. So I contacted Bill to see if I could try one. I found one on his site that I really liked. I have to admit I was a little skeptial of them. Boy was I wrong. The grip is perfect, the limbs are smooth with no hand shock, but most of all they are the best performing limbs that I have ever shot. Only problem is now I want every model. Sent Bill some wood for a couple builds but really have my eye on a nitro. Mine is a 58" SXT 57@28 carbon foam zebra wood veneers snake skin backed with a zebrawood and macassar riser. Hope you like it.

Also need to thank Bob and Barb Morrison for the skin job. The are perfect as usual.
Beautiful bow sir...but then, I've never seen an ugly zipper! :)
I never thought to much about them until I got a real deal on a used one....it was to good to pass up so I said what the heck I'll buy it! Best move I ever made! That standard now has 2 sets of limbs and then I got a Standard ILF riser from Bill that I saw at Denton Hill. VERY, VERY PLEASED!! :thumbsup: Great bows........
That is probably one of the prettiest bow's I have ever seen, how does she shoot for ya?
I am hoping I don't sound ignorant here, but what does ILF mean?
Great bows !!! You really need to try a Nitro as well.
Bill
International Limb Fitting, ILF, you can use any ILF limb on any ILF riser. Makes a single riser very versatile. I have recurve and long bow limbs for my Zipper but can also use them on other risers. Do a seach on here for ILF bows ....lots of Info......
Careful, "Widowdoublelung"...you keep this up and you'll be needing a different handle!!! :saywhat:
That is a beautiful bow! Congrats! Bill and Tracy are great people with a great product! I have 3 sxt's and I have my eye on a nitro also.

Very nice looking bow!
Definantly going to get a nitro and another sxt. It shoots where you look and has the best trajectory of any bow I've shot. It really is suprising how fast and accurate it is will be hard to take any other bow to the woods.
Best bows I ever shot. I wish I had tried one first. Would have had more money in my pocket. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Oh well you can't take it with you. God bless.
Its a bow I've always been interested in. I became even more interested when I met Bill Dunn. He's a cool dude. The thing I found really interesting is that his wife Tracy actually builds all the bows and just keeps Bill around for PR and looks. Seriously I'm gonna order one someday.
Stunning!
Should also add that Bill ...I mean Tracy had a bow at Kalamazoo a few years ago that was hands down the most beautiful bow I have ever seen. I wish I would have bought it. Check out the hunting videos on their website. My wife really loves the one where Tracy shoots her first bear. It's good stuff.
I love the looks of that bow. Zebra wood is one of my favorites!
I have 2 SXT that look the clones of your.
They are great looking and shooting bows.
In the last few months 4 wild boars had to submit at the Zipper's rule. :readit:
A beauty!
Have always been a fan of copperhead skins, very nice!
Congrats, on a great looking ZIpper! Like many have already said, ZIpper is the best bow I have ever shot.
Congrats on your first Zipper. Best shooting bow I have ever shot and Bill and Tracey are great people to deal with.
Nice bow! Welcome to Club Zipper. :D
i concur with Hawkeye, your handle needs to be changed. Maybe to ZIP-OW. Ha ha ha, dont let SPURS take my new zipper home with him Sunday!
That's one hot looking bow!
A very beautiful bow!
Thats a nice bow!
Congrats
I was always curious about them! I really love the wood combo, SHARP :thumbsup:
Very nice bow I will have to try one at Compton if they are there.
Thats Nice Way nice :thumbsup: :notworthy:
That combination looks fantastic. Those may be the nicest snake skins I have ever seen. Congrats....
"Life's too short to shoot an ugly bow!"
...and I even got the T-Shirt. Congrats on entering World Zipper.
