Zoom'n Little Zipper!
« on: August 20, 2010, 09:08:00 PM »
New to me Zipper SXT. 62" 46# @ 28" so, 49# @ my 29" draw. I believe it is Bacote and Cocobolo w/Foam Core limbs. Shot this group on the second try at approx. 15yds.

Nice, I just got a used Zipper at Denton Hill. Mine is 52#@30",so 49@ my 29" draw. Mine had a high wrist so I sent it back to Bill At Zipper to make it a low wrist with finger grooves. Can't wait to get it back,it's a smooth as silk. All dark stained curly Maple. May have to hunt it this fall   :thumbsup: !!!!!

Great looking bow! I like my Zipper Recurves also. Bill and Tracy do a great job of putting those wood combos together. Have a blast with it, it will look even better with some blood on it.

Nice lookin bow, love the classic bocote/cocobolo combo. Didn't I just see you open up a new custom 1-piece with wolf tracks on the limbs?! Good for you!   :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone. This bow is a little screamer to be sure. Almost thought about using it for deer and my St Joe for elk but, I have made a commitment to the St Joe as I shoot it very well and well, it's just a great bow all around. I may use the Zipper if I go after black bear.

I was thinking of that myself Larry. But, the St Joe is the bow of choice this year. We'll see how next year pans out though. May use the Zipper all next year.
