The limbs and limb angle are the Nitro.The riser section is different.Because this one is a one piece and that limits my riser shape the Zipstick has about an inch higher brace height than the Nitro does.

She is on to you Jarrett! [biglaugh]

Sorry Robhood, but we will not be at the Waterloo show.

Will we see you at the Baltimore Bowmen shoot, Jim?

Bill,
I'd love to try out a 56". I was just down in Mt. Orab last weekend still chasing that big buck I missed back in November. Got to within about 50 yards on Saturday, but couldn't close the deal. Let me know when you're available and I'll head back downt that way. I've been looking around for a 56" longbow and would love to try one of yours. I'm hoping to get down there another weekend before deer season closes to give that buck one more try.

If you look at the Zipper website it says they start at $700.

Hey Matt, the best way to do it would be to contact me when you are going to be down this way and I'll try to be available.

The 58"er will handle a 29" draw length with no problem.

Jwilliam is right the price for the Zipstick with curved riser laminations similar to the prototype will be $700. That will be using our base woods of Curly Maple and Bubinga along with your choice of stripes.
I am also considering offering one with just one wood and no accents for $650.

Yea Izzy, we have stained Curly Maple veneers black before. I just looked and my favorite stain company has a new black stain.
