Love those Zipper bows! What was special about the grip? Let me know how you like that quiver after you break it in. Thinking of getting one made for my bow. Congrats  :thumbsup:

Zircote is really nice stuff. the grip is identical to Chad Jones Zipper with just a touch more palm swell, and I had him check it at final sanding.

I have two Zippers...a zipstick and a recurve.  Both are sooooo sweet.  My recurve is not the extreme...I've shot an extreme and prefer the non-extreme.  The longbow is so soft and forgiving that it's unbelieveable...I actually shoot it better than the recurve..just a tad, and I think it's because it's do "predictable", doesn't do anything wierd, just puts the arra where yur lookin'...who could want more than that?

Beautiful bow!

for those of you considering a Zipper...one of the finest features of Bob's design was his pairing of shedua and curly maple to create a strong laminated riser that was beautiful, functional, extremely strong, AND LIGHT WEIGHT in comparison to most exotic wood risers.

Remember you will be carrying this bow in the field for many hours and even half a pound can make a huge difference in your energy level at the end of a day of stalking. My 1989 riser is considerably lighter than any other TD recurve I've owned...everyone who touches it remarks on that feature..as well as its beauty.

I highly recommend this wood combination as an option on your Zipper, or any other bow for that matter, if only from a practical perspective.

Great looking bow! Those woods look excellent together.

Geez, LeRoy, first the TimberGhost and now an Extreme. I guess you're going to have to get a Thermal to get a complete copy of my bow rack!    :biglaugh:  

Cool combo on that riser. Interesting to see him not do the ususal "double arc" that Bob always did. Congrats!

Don't think I wasn't tempted when you put up the Vortex for sale! It just might happen yet.

Best,
