As some of you know GrnMtnTradNut had a mishap with a Zipper in Ohio last year. He ran over the bow he had got his first 3 trad deer with upon arrival to the camp.
The risers Earthly remains were sent to Bill Dunn of Zipper for some inspection to see if anything could be done. I spoke with him on the phone a few times and sent him a set of limbs. The artist did some magic and sent me Roadkill back and it arrived today. Chris just happened to be here when the mail-lady arrived.
Bill is a magician. So what do you all think?

Wow that turned out nice!Looks like you shoot it very well Chris.
A friend backed up over my longbow once at camp.Not complety I screamed bloody mmurder as he was rolling over part of it.The string nearly came off and the top limb looked twisted bad.Unstung it and restung it and all was good.
congrats on the bow!I bet your tickled pink.Thats great service to from your bowyer and friend.

Steelhead, who said he gets it back? I let him have first shot with it, never said he could have it again. Didn't you read about how Zipper Bows come with restraining orders against him now? Heck, he's probably going to get fined for today.

I was suprised he even let me look at it never mind touch it, or shoot it. But I did help him chase the mail lady down. It looks great and shoots like it always did-sweet!! Great work Bill, I love the colors of the riser with the stain. No violation here, I know were it is and I can have supervised visits, I going over tomrrow to shoot it some more. Yes I almost cried like a little kid when the Tundra rolled over my baby. Chris

Chris would be a good test candidate for an aluminum riser Zipper. May even let him shoot one if Bill gets the prototype hammered out so it can be tested.
