I'm a Zipper Daddy

I'm a big fan of Zipper bows. I got turned on to them when Bill introduced the Hunter version of his bows. I bought a Hunter S recently and I decided I wanted another pair of limbs, long story short I ended up also getting a riser a short time later. I don't think I could of come up with a better combination if I tried.
Riser is an SXT, Cocobolo/Wenge and Bacote stripes.
Limbs are Evolution limbs, Stained Curly Maple, and bamboo cores.
58" 54@28. On my scale I'm getting 54@27, using a simple hand scale so mine might be off, but still spot on as far as I am concerned. Brace Height set at 7 inches.
Arrows are 29.5" Easton Legacy 2117's 175grain tips, 5 inch feathers.
I was thinking I might be a little overspined but my Sweet Zip is handling them just fine. I love how a Zipper feels after the shot, right on target. Shot her at 15 yards and I'm extremely happy with the accuracy. Don't think I can do any better. Unless I want new arrows.

Do I really need to post pics ? You know it's going to look awesome right ?

Well Ok, enjoy !!!

I saw that riser on the Zipper website...if Bill wasn't building me a bow that baby would have been long gone! It's a beauty, congrats!!!
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Maybe Bill you can make him a offer!   :biglaugh:  
Another beautiful SXT,I love my "Hugly Sister" since I had not yet been able to see my last one.
These bows aren't only nice looking but also great shooters!

Beautiful wood combo and nice shooting!

Ha! Yup, I'll say that combo is a tough one to beat.  Zipper and curly maple just go hand in hand. That is a great lookin bow!

Ingenious targets and very pretty combo.  :D
