I have had some good bows and never even looked at our very own Bill Dunn at Zipper until I shot one at Compton's two years ago. After that I was on the lookout. Never did see one that struck me. So Lowebow and I rode up to Bill and Tracy's a few months back and shot almost all they had and picked out some woods for mine. I was in the market for a Winge/Bocote combo but Bill wanted me to look at some Morado he had in the shop. Well after Mike hit me in the ribs and winked at me I decided to go with it. I did know I wanted some copperhead skins on this bow so the bow woods were more or less chosen around them. The Morado blended really well with them I think. I did work my Bocote in the bow as well with some stripes between the two woods.


Here was the first pic Bill sent me of the riser block and limb lambs (also Morado).

 

Next was the roughed out riser. You know I am certain these bowyers get some kind of sadistic kick out of teasing us with these progress pics.

 

Tuesday I picked up the finished product at the post office.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bill also made me a fantastic looking matching quiver for it but it is not mounted right now as it will only hold four arrows. I have a Chris Surtees broadhead from St. Judes that has a date with a KY deer and I have three other sharp heads and a varmint head making five.

I know what you are thinking but let me assure you   even though I picked this bow up two days ago it's ready for its debut. I would also like to give my first impression thoughts. I have one bow I compare all other to and this bow I believe may surpass that one. It is the fastest bow I have ever shot with its foam and carbon limbs and the windage is perfect without me having to make any adjustments to side plate. It pleases all my personal senses and its manners are unsurpassed. Love Bill's new matte textured finish as well.

It really likes my CE 150s with 50 grain brass inserts and 150 grain VPA heads.

Thanks for looking and I hope you all get a chance to try one of today's Zippers, Bills always tinkering to make them better performers.

It's a looker too!

Very nice! What's the specs?

sweet!!!!

Man what a looker!!

I will be honest, I don't like snake skins on bows and I have only seen one snake-skinned bow I liked.

Make it two now. They fit on your bow like nothing else, it really looks spectacular.
One of the most beautiful bows I've ever seen and I bet it shoots great!

Bjorn sorry - 58" and 52 @ 28.

Fing, I asked Bill not to let the skins turn out to orange that I would prefer them a brown tone to go with the bow. I think he hit it spot on.

That's about as perfect as a bow can be! Stunning, absolutely Stunning! Those woods are beautiful and compliment each other just right. Congrats TJ, and Good Luck this season!

Kentucky TJ - Tuesday was a good day for both of us, eh?    :D    Really nice choices!  I'm kinda partial to those skins too!      

Can't wait to get off work and do some more shooting.  Mine was shooting 55/75 GT XT's at 30" with 250 up front pretty well, and the bow is 51@27" (my dl).  Sounds like it might be overspined from what your shooting, but didn't fly that way!

I like it!
Mike

Looks great, love the combo.

Awesome looking bow,love the combination.

good looking combo!

I sold all my others when i started shooting Zippers

TJ i'm not a guy to jump on the "Best looking bow ever" wagon and Zippers have never struck a cord with me for whatever reason, but I must agree that is probably my favorite to date.  And the skins came out perfect for that combo.  What is the wood in the center?

Eye Candy on Steroids!!!!!

Very, very nice!!

I think the skins look perfect, you're right spot on  

Now that is one sweeeeet looking bow!!!

Every time I see one of Bill's new creations I don't think they can get any better.

   But it seems he always finds a way to top himself. Congrats on a fine looking bow!!

I have to say that is one stunning bow.

TJ, that is a really nice bow.  The woods and skins go together sooooooooo well its amazing. Bill did a fantastic job and you got one sweet looker.  There is no doubt in my mind that she shoots better than she looks and that is saying a lot.....

Make her proud....
