Zipper SXT vs ZSR
« on: August 04, 2010, 02:13:00 PM »
If you have shot both the SXT and ZSR, which did you prefer? Can you make any comparisons? Thanks.
If it's in your way, move it.

I just ordered a ZSR at Denton , my reason being the grip and mass of the riser. The grip was more of a medium grip and the total grip fit in my smallish hand better.  

Good luck they are all nice MARK

Haven't shot the ZSR a lot, but have one on order. The SXT is a longer riser, great grip and mass. ZSR, short, weight forward riser. More mass, slightly more forgiving, gets me the total bow length I want with a slightly different grip that is very repeatable for me.

I thought they are both the same length,but the ZSR is more forward.I think they are both 14" risers,maybe I'm wrong.

As far as I know the SXT and ZSR are both 14" risers. And all the other risers are 16". I got a chance to shoot the new ZSR at Denton Hill and was very impressed, but I still like the SXT better. The SXT just seems to feel a little bit better in my hand. I would consider the SXT a medium grip and the ZSR a lower wrist grip. Don't think that you can go wrong with any of Bill's bows. They all shoot great!!!  :thumbsup:    :notworthy:

Bill basically makes 4 risers:  Standard, Extreme, ZSR, and SXT.  There is also an Elkaholic version made out of elk antler.

The Standard and the Extreme are 16" risers.  The Extreme is deflexed more than the Standard.  

The ZSR and SXT are smaller 14 inch versions of the Standard and Extreme Design.

I really don't think that there is much difference in the grip portions of the riser, but rather the angle that the rest of the riser interacts with your hand and the limb pads.

Bill or Tracy may jump in on this thread for clarification, and there is also a great summary on the    zipper website.
