Zipper Zipstick build (finished pics on pg.3)

As many of you know I' m crazy about Bill Dunn's bows. I believe that he is a true artist, and even better man.

His bows just seem to fit me the best. As soon as Bill came out with the Zipstick, I knew I was going to end up ordering one. :D

Last June I made a visit to Bill's shop. I thought it would be a pretty cool visit. Plus I could pick out my woods while I was there. I decided to go with a 60" 52@28" bow. I chose Bocote and Cocobolo for the riser, and Curly Koa veneers. Even decided to have him build me one of his Sweet looking quivers !!!

The wait hasn't been bad until the last few days. She is finally in production. :D Thought you guys might enjoy seeing the pictures Bill has been sending me.

Go to visit Bill can be very costly,I can't immagine to go there coming back with out a new bow.
Great looking woods.

Bill--I'm interested in the Zipper line of bows, but I love my Centaur. Seeing that you own both, could you compare them a little for me. Thanks-Mike

Jwilliam · March 09, 2014, 05:46:00 PM

Mike,
Sent you a PM.

Bill

I started shooting traditional equipment in 1988 with a zipper bow. Bob Thompson was the bowyer then and I was lucky he only lived about 3 miles from me I still have that bow when I switched to lefty in the mid 90's he built me another one. If I ever need another it will be a zipper I am sure

Thanks-Bill!
