Zipper bows
« on: March 20, 2009, 10:31:00 PM »
I made a trip to the deer and turkey expo in Ohio today.  Went to go get me a new Zipper.  I never have shot one before today.  Wow was I impressed, the craftsmanship is wonderful. They are one beautiful bow.  After I introduced myself, Bill  set me up and I started trying them out.  I tried the SXT first with longbow limbs really a sweet bow. Then I tried the Extreme And then the Standard. I thought I was going with the Extreme, until he had me try the SXT with recurve limbs.  I was sold on it instantly.  These things are as smooth as butter to pull back.  After the release there is smoke coming off the arrow.  They really hit the target hard. I ended up ordering an SXT with wenge and bocote riser and kingwood limbs.  Also getting it snake skinned.  It was a wonderful experience, every time I tried a bow and brought it back, he put another in my hand to try.  Bill and Tracy are a first class act.  They put a big    :goldtooth:   grin on my face, that won't go away.
THANKS BOTH OF YOU,
Bryan Horner

Congrats!!! Your going to love the SXT. I haven't been able to put mine down since I got it. Your right Bill and Tracy are great people. Can't wait to try the longbow limbs out too.

Ditto on the SXT, cannot put mine down either,LOL. I have longbow limbs on it but will probably order a set of recurve limbs to match. My other bows are very gealous of the new gal on the rack,LOL.

Horner, I was right behind you. Tried the SXT riser and longbow limbs. I've shoot alot of bows over the years and after only 6 arras I knew this bow was special. 60" 56#@28". I wanted those limbs (wrote my name on them) but have to wait on the riser. Flat out ripped a 550gr. arra and you couldn't hear the bow.
While I was trying the bow, a guy shooting another bow said "my gosh, what kind of bow is that, can I try it". Came home all excited and told my wife about she said "Matt, I'm really happy for you. Now go sell a couple bows to pay for it". Dang!

Bill is good people. I bought a mid 90s Zipper from Vermonster a while back. Sent the riser to Bill and he made it so it is adaptable to the limbs he makes. He is gonna let me try out some longbow limbs on it at Cloverdale this year. He is good to deal with.

Matt, I got about the same line from my wife, except she said a gun.  You got to love it!

Just got back from the show where I talked with Bill and Tracy for a while myself.  He made a bow for me a few years ago and it is just first rate all the way.

 

Let the wait begin!!
