zipper bows, what do you guys think?

[Shooter Dan]

I've never shot a zipper recurve before and wanted some feedback from those who have in reguards to how they compare to other bows on the market.  Any feedback would be appreciated.

I haven't shot one myself....I do plan on trying one out at the 2012 trad bow expo in Kalamazoo.

But I have not read one single bad review.....

hope this helps a bit

I own 2 Zipper SXT's, and won't sell either one. By far my favorite recurve.    They don't get any better than Bill and Tracy Dunn !!!

I have a standard with longbow and recurve limbs and I have a standard ILF riser with longbow and recuvre limbs........need I say more    Good folks to deal with also!!!

I sold my Bob Anderson original Extreme on here a couple years back... still kicking myself big time. They are as good as it gets in my opinion. You can see what I shoot now at the bottom of my post. Neither is "better"... just a bit different. I would like to own another.

You can find a bunch of bows made today that will shoot good while using perfect form on a target range. But I use my bows as hunting tools and the way I measure a great bow is how well it shoots as you hold it at different angles and positions as a hunter has to do sometimes to get that shot. You can hold a zipper with the pressure anywhere in the grip and it will still shoot a straight arrow.

With all things considered they are in the top two of all the bows I have ever shot. A bow is a personal choice as folks like different things cosmetically but as far as shootability and performance which don't change from shooter to shooter they get no better than a Zipper.

I love mine,mine is a Zipper ZSR with longbow limbs.It's fast,smooth and quiet with the carbon and foam core limbs.I have quite a few buddy's that have a SXT and ZSR with both recurve and longbow limbs.Mine is a keeper for me.

I agree with what Tom said above.

Also, I would add that after buying and selling many bows the Zipper SXT with Carbon and foam Limbs is the best bow I have ever owned or shot hands down!!!

Just purchased a Bob Thompson Extreme in the classifieds here a few weeks ago.  Great bow so far!!

I have a 60" SXT with the carbon and foam limbs. It is by far my favorite! Bill and Tracy are great to deal with.

[Tyler C. Moore]

With two extremes, a standard, original limbs, and foam core/carbon backed, longbow and recurve I have shot em all. I would agree with everything said and especially KentuckyTJ. When you can get a hunting tool that performs every time, with the beauty and feel of zippers there is no reason to shoot anything else. The amazing character and passion of Bill and Tracy is unmatched and cannot be spoken of highly enough.

Since I received my SXT I felt in love.East quiet accurate;made a Robin Hood at 25 with the 3rd and 4th arrow I shot out of it!
I am waiting for its brother twins,that must be ready as soon as Bill kills something.LOL  

[Fisherking73]

Looking at the risers now. Good info, but gonna wait till the hitman bow pass around before deciding which bow to go with.

never tried one but only heard good things about them  

[cacciatore]

They are useless you just brake arrows with them!LOL

[Shooter Dan]

Thanks guys. I spoke with Bill today and he was very helpful. I really appreciate all of the feedback. Sounds like these bows are worth looking at.

[Matthew Bolton]

I shoot an SXT riser with the longbow limbs and I will never get rid of that bow!

[Joe Subler]

shot my Extreme a bit more this afternoon and must say I have been very impressed with it's performance.  Seems to be very tolerant of different spined arrows as well!!
