Flemish Traditional Sports is extremely pleased to announce that we have contracted with master bowyer Bill Dunn of Zipper Manufacturing LLC to produce our unique and proprietary recurve bow design.  

We will be offering a 60" 3 pc. take-down recurve, in both left-hand and right-hand in draw weights from 40-60 lbs.  The bows will feature true custom performance without the high custom price tag and wait time!

We are totally committed to the field testing of all of our products and we are currently test shooting a prototype of this exciting new bow and the appropriate FTS Custom Performance Super Twist bowstring for it.  We plan to have these in-stock and available for immediate delivery to you within the next 4-6 weeks.

Check out the picture below!  Check our website for more details about this exciting new addition to our unique product line!

Could not team up with a better guy and bowyer as Bill Dunn with Zipper!

 

People are going to be very happy with this bow. I'm pretty impressed with it.  

Wow what an exciting venture. Agree with going with Bill and Tracy at Zipper. A partnership like that has serious potential, I just hope it doesnt slow my next Zipper order.

guaranteed to be a first class product
coming from the zipper camp

Great news Eric. Looking forward to seeing pictures and hearing more details. All of the Zipper bows and products I have had over the years have been outstanding in every aspect. REALLY looking forward to this addition to your line-up!  

L82HUNT has been playing with this bow for a few days now.  He told me that this prototype bow outperformed a recent custom bow order he received fairly recently in both speed and quietness.  

The prototype bow is now in transit to the next field tester (me).  After I get a few days with it, I plan to forward it onto the next one.  So there will at least be two additional field testers involved in this matter before I will accept any orders from customers.  

I will say that L82HUNT was so impressed with it that he has already asked and ordered one once they are available!  Now some of us may know that Glenn may be a bit biased as he is our custom bowstring maker.  But for those of you that know him personally, you already know of his overall experience and knowledge in these things.

Zipper is a proven and respected name in the industry and this is just one of the many reasons we have partnered with Bill & Tracy.  

I will personally assure you that these bows will offer you the best in value, performance and looks of any stock recurve bow made today or your money back, without any hassles what so ever!

how much will they cost? and can we get some pic please?

Tyler we are taking steps to insure that this new opportunity does not effect the Zipper wait time. In fact it should allow us to be in a position to reduce our wait time.We have been making shop improvements to accomidate our growing bow business as well as Grizzly broadheads. Working with Eric and some other shops has allowed us to put on some much needed help.
Tracy and I are very excited to be working with Eric on this project.I know a lot of folks will like this bow and the price point.

Sound like a practical venture and I wish the best for both parties. Love them Zips!

Waiting for pics and reviews!      

Well folks all of the minor details have all been worked out as of today and the test bow is in-transit onto me.  Now I finally get to shoot it and take some pictures for you all.  I should have these pictures up by week's end!

This is great can't wait to see them. Congats to Bill and Tracy and Eric you couldn't have chosen a better manufacturer.

Thanks for promising to post pics Eric. Looking for to the preview!  

Here is a picture of the demo / test bow that we have been putting through the paces.  There will be a few more finish type details on the bows that we will be selling.  I let you fine folks determine what you think of the looks of it.        

The fit and finish of this bow is incredible.  It is a very subtle matte texture that just feels great and yet does not get shiney.  The bows should be in-stock within 4-6 weeks.  We will offer them in draw weights from 40-60 lbs. and only in a 60" length for both right and left handed shooters.

Sweet, nice lines. Any options in the riser? What is the woods in that riser and the limb cores? Looks like the surefire Zipper grip. I dig it!

Sorry we are not going to offer any riser wood options as we are trying to offer custom bow performance and looks at a production bow price.  The woods in the riser are Osage and Charcoal Futurewood. Futurewood is much stiffer than actionwood and thus it makes for a better riser.  The riser is 16" in length.
