I shot the Zipstick Bill had at Baltimore....for 44# it shot fast and smooth....looks like a winner Bill!
Thanks for letting me flip a few from it!  Now keep it away from me at Denton Hill!

Bow was delivered today. Let the fun begin.

I am next and I can't wait, after shooting Bill's Zipstick in Harodsburg; I am looking forward to slanging some arrows with the pass around bow.

Zipstick is on the way to Gen273, should be there on Friday or Saturday. This was my first experience with a Zipper and had not shot a bow with foam cores. WOW! This one should be on everyones short list. Bow is smooth as silk at 29" and is quick to boot. Riser fit my hand as if it was custom made for me. Bill, beautiful craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing.  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Thanks Mofish!
I made a few changes to the form over the weekend. These changes should bring the performance up another notch without giving up shootability.We layed one up from the new form yesterday. I should know something by the end of the week. The main reason for the change in the form is for the longer Zipsticks.

Will, that is what "decent" bowyers do with "decent" bows.  :bigsmyl:

Bill, if you need anybody to shoot the new prototype, I know a guy up in Montana.....

LimBender

Back to slow train a coming,

Gen273, you should have had it at least a week?  Any thoughts?

Bill,

I hate to miss out on the opportunity to shoot this bow but I will be gone the entire month of July so please remove my name from the list. Thanks for the opportunity.

Gen273

Yes, I had the bow a week and so did Monsterbuck (two weeks between us) we shot it as much as time would allow.

The Zipstick is a smooth shooter just like all of Bill's bows. the grip is spot on and it does slang an arrow with authority. I am still a 3 piece guy, but if a one piece is what you are looking for the Zipstick will be very hard to beat.

I am a Zipper fan, and I think that Bill has a winner here. I spoke with him a week or so ago and he told me he had tweaked the design a little with his latest prototype. Therefore, I am sure that whoever orders a Zipstick will be very, very glad they did.

Guys, I am going to be swamped for the next couple of months at work and wont have time to give the bow a work out and get it on to the next guy in a timely fashion. You can drop me off the list for now...

Will, Thanks for helping to keep up with this. I really appreciate it.

11) Raging Water
12) Fishycatfish
13) A. Kinslow

16) GabeGa

Brown A5 is going to shoot one at Denton hill so he does not need to be on the list.

I have been spending some time tweaking the form and formulas. I have managed to pick up another 5 fps while maintaining the sweetness at and after the shot. This thing just keeps getting better!It just might turn me into a 1 piece longbow fan!! Once I have one that I am totally happy with I will swap it out for the prototype you all are shooting now.
