That all ebony SXT that I saw at Denton Hill was simply gorgeous!

Zipper's are world class bows!
Practice like you are the worst, shoot like you are the best...

Ron,
Right now I have 2 SXT's. One SXT with Classic limbs and another with Evolution limbs. In my opinion there isn't a better recurve out there!!!  :thumbsup:    :notworthy:  The thing I really respect about Bill is that he is always trying to build a better bow. He never stops working on improving his bows. And there customer service is top notch. Not to mention all his bows are so beautiful!!! You made a wise choice my friend !!!! Enjoy the new bow.

You know how I feel about them.My favorite  recurve.Mine are older but they all have class.Youll probably stop your incessant horse trading for a while now. Zippers will pinch ya,,, I mean hook ya. See you in Jewett.

These bows are definately on my short list.I don't know a bow Felix doesn't shoot well.I tell ya its in that darn Cheese!lol.Gots ta find me a Zipper.They add so many nice new models its confusing!
Quote from Howard Hill.( Whenever he taught someone to shoot) "Son make up your mind right now if you want to target shoot or hunt as theres a world of differance between the two"

Most of what I have heard or seen on Zippers came from people who own them and love them. I know they were great to talk to at Denton Hill. The web site has a lot of stuff on it also.

I have had mine since 1991. Bob Thompson built it for me when he was out of Ravenswood West VA.

It's still as good a bow today as it was back then, and true to form I am still as poor a shot as I was back then.

I have other bows I shoot, but I always come back to my Zipper.

Mack Marine

We got 4 Zipper's, been part of the family since the early '90s. Still shooting straight.

PAPA BEAR

i had bob build me a couple right before he retired from bow building.the last one he told me over the phone was probably the smoothest he had ever built.he wasnt lying,that was a very smooth bow and i am still trying to figure out why i sold it.sometimes i wonder if i'm all here i tell ya.wish i had it back.

I'm looking forward to shooting mine and may hunt with it this fall.It's good to hear all the positive comments,, when you buy a used bow you kinda take a chance unless you have shot one somewhere along the way. All the good things I hear, and the one one I shot, I think I'm going to be a happy camper!

I have 2 and think his bows are some of the best!! As a matter of fact, I'm looking for a 62' right now...no luck, but will continue to look!

Hopewell Tom

I'm thinking Zipper. Too much good press and then you LOOK at them. I'll never hold one until I get one, but feel quite certain it'll be all good. I really like the matching quiver, even though I'm not big on bow quivers!

They are easy on the eye and shoot great.

Got my riser back today from Bill and I just want to say what a nice job Bill did on it.It now has the standard med grip and seems to fit me much better. When I do my part it shoots where it should. Thanks Bill for great workmanship and a great product!!
