Guys, Those are some beautiful Zippers. Sure makes it hard to decide on a wood combo.

Jake, What limbs are on your bow?

--------------------
Zipper SXT recurve 58" 53#@28"
Zipper SXT longbow 60" 49#@28"

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Beautiful bows indeed:)
How fast are they compared to other top bowyers and most important how do they accept long drawlengths?

Margly

It has been my experience that Bills carbon foam evo recurve limbs are as fast or faster than any bow I have shot...period. I have shot many of the high end custom bows and have not found one faster than the limbs I just mentioned. The longbow limbs don't seem as quick as the evo's but they flat spit an arrow as well.

My 58" limbs felt smooth clear out to 29 and would imagine they would work great to 30 but that is only a question Bill Dunn could answer.

Here's a pic of mine before it left's Bil's shop. The osage had darkened up quite a bit and the tulipwood is more red. I actually like it better the more it ages. I'll have to snap a few of it now and post em.
