I would love to meet Jack Zwickey....killed a truck load of deer and other critters with the Delta 4 blade.

What a great experience it would be to meet him. I would love to talk with him. The Zwickey Eskimo and Delta heads have been my most used heads over the years.

I have talked to Jack at shows a few times. Would love to see THE SHOP.

The man is a wealth of info.

I've shot the 2 blade eskimos since I started 20 yrs ago now...it's been a long awaited trip! I'll be back there this april to sit with Jack again, hopefully with a camera this time LOL!

And of course my first PY banquet

That is my favorite and most used head. Still use it or stone 95% of the time.

God Bless,
Nathan

Jack is a super guy. We had many conversations via the phone over the past 20 yrs. He always invited me up but I just never made the trip. He has some great stories and his place is like a museum. Maybe one day I'll make the trip. Glad you had a great time there.

I am been always pleased with my Zwickey BHs

Zwickey Deltas are hard to beat. Where is Jack's shop?

There are a lot of taxidermists paying there bills with the help of Jack.

Anyone know if Zwickey has a website?

Cheers,

No they don't...and that really bothers me....I'm afraid they are going to become a lost and forgotten head if they don't update their marketing.

Heck....I'd host the dang thing for free if they'd just put up a page.
