If it has phenolic on the tips it is fast flight compatible.The phenolic will be red or black. Any of them built from late 1990 up will have phenolic. There are many built before then that are not fast flight compatible.Send me a picture and I will be able to tell you or post it here.

I owned a Zipper that Bob custom-built for me around 1987 or so. I remember it had a grip that was offset and canted fairly significantly. Nobody that I'm aware of had offered that before. I remember that bow was all black locust and had whitetail antler tips. I shot the heck out of it and killed a number of deer before selling it.

Bob...always the restless innovator. I think Bill is a kindred spirit to Bob.
