My Brother Mike (Lowebow) called me about a stock riser he liked on the Zipper website and wanted to buy it. We were talking about which limbs to put with it. Mike wanted a 62" bow and Bill didn't have any but assured Mike that with his 30" draw his 60" limbs would be fine for him. Mike asked me to have Bill send them here since my house is close to his work and we love tinkering together. Well I just opened the box and...

[scared] [scared] [scared]

I just told Mike if he doesn't like this bow I'm selling a kidney and its staying here.

Zebra and Cocobola SXT riser with foam/carbon limbs with some stained maple on the bellies. Some of the best looking Zebra wood I've seen and the superb Cocobolo is leftover from the piece thats in my new Nitro riser. Mike is working and hasn't seen it yet. I was going to string her and shoot it but I just can't bring myself to do it. I've known Mike for a long time and I know he will love this bastard bow whos parts weren't made for each. Steller job as usual Bill. WOW! What do ya think?

Very nice! I would have to shoot it first if it were me. [Big Grin]

I drooled all over the Zipper booth at Cloverdale.

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

WOW! Awesome combo. I've been trying to hold off getting a new custom bow made to order but these pics are making it tough. I love the bow I got, but I got the itch.
