Zipper ILF Longbow......C'est Magnifique
« on: August 07, 2011, 02:32:00 PM »
I've annoyed Bill enough on what he has had in stock and what I was looking for. This combination is dead accurate, extremely smooth, quiet even without any silencers installed.

My complete thanks to you Bill, Job Well Done !!!

I tested this bow with other limbs but the Zipper Carbon/Foam limbs put everything else behind them. Very happy with how they shoot and equally happy on how they look. The Carbon looks a bit like snakeskin.

Neat! Is that Zebrawood on the limb caps too? That is cool the way he cut that! What length and weight? What arrows are you shooting out of it?

Yes Zebrawood on the caps and cross cut Zebrawood on the belly. Funny thing is I bought the riser about a month before I bought the limbs. I could swear they were made for each other. Bill said the riser is Zebrawood and Morado, which I believe is another name for Pau Ferro.

I've shot and owned lot's of bows, this is the best shooting bow I've come across, nice looker too.

Looking good Peter!    :thumbsup:    

I have to say, I got the wood over the phenolic idea from Bob Morrison.It just looks so good I could not resist.

I wonder if Bill can do that, wood over phenolic or carbon to his new 1 piece longbow? Sure would look great. Hint, Hint!

I think Bill likes it when we pester him so much that he should be annoyed!  That is a beautiful bow. I'm a sucker for flat cut Zebrawood as Bill already knows.  

Bill for President, I'll second that!

I second both statements. I have been pestering Bill weekly about my bow on order. Changing woods, design, poundage... He has been the most fantastic person to speak with each time. I cannot say enough about his kindness and willingness to take the time to talk. Lifetime Zipper shooter for all the right reasons.

Bill for President? No way, he has bows to build. Better than the one we have, and WAY better than the one we got rid of  :bigsmyl:  Now, can we keep it to trad bows?  :p

Great looking combo. The Pau Ferro and Morado are in the Rosewood family I believe. He's put a piece of it in my bow as well. Yeah and Bill's an OK dude.     :thumbsup:
