Sweet. I hear Bill jazzed up the limb performance with new tapers. That's exciting. Your logo would look sharp on those dark colored limbs!

[Benjy]

That is a good looking bow. What kind of string are you going to use?

[eflanders]

Glenn our string maker has designed a specific version of our FTS Custom Performance Super Twist string for these bows to get the very best performance we possibly could.  It is a flemish twist style "skinny string" made with our unique blend of string materials.  The loops are padded and the center serving is Halo.  The string colors are red, black & yellow as shown in the pictures above.

Is this the ZSR riser and what is the riser length?

I was wondering the same thing...looks different than even the ZSR...

This is good news but what will the price be on these???????????????????????

[eflanders]

The riser length is 16" and these bows are made just for us by Bill Dunn of Zipper Mfg.  

We have ordered a number of the bows for our initial inventory and we hope to have them all in-stock and available by May 1st.  The bows will come complete with our No-Hassle Satisfaction Guarantee, of course one of our premium bow strings, a nice bow stringer, allen key and a couple of other little FTS "goodies".  Our stock selling price will be just $749.95 plus shipping & insurance, (CONUS only).

 However , if any Trad Gang member wants to pre-order one of these bows before May 1st. I will sell them to you for just $700 plus shipping & insurance if paid-in-full at time of order. Or I will gladly accept a $200 deposit now and then only charge you a balance of $525 plus shipping & insurance once the bow is ready to ship complete.    :D    

This offer is for CONUS Trad Gang members only.  Shipping & insurance is approximately $30 per bow.

what about draw length,will this bow work well with long draws like 30-31in? Burt

[LongStick64]

Looks to me like the Zipper Standard riser. Either way, it looks real nice.

bsv This bow gains 2.5# per inch out to 30".From 30"-31" it giains 3#.If you have a 31" draw I would suggest a 62"er.

Per Bill Dunn at Zipper Mfg. "The maximum draw length we reccommend for this bow is 30".  It will gain from 2.5# - 3# per inch of draw beyond 28".  So if the bow is rated at 50# @ 28" and you draw it to 30", the bow will be between 55# and 60# at that draw length.

Can't go wrong with any bow built by Bill Dunn !!!

Definitely has a recognizable Zipper look.  Agree on finish - love the matte finish - best finish for hunting - no glare, a little grip to it, but not too hazy to hide the wood.

Good luck on the new venture.

Testing Update:  I have been playing with the test bow for a few days.  Boy this thing sure handles so very nicely.  I really love the way Bill does the riser grip, you just can't mess up with your grip the way your fingers are aligned!  

We have been playing with several different string formulations and I think we got this part of the equation all dialed-in now but I want to shoot the latest string variation for a few more days before I pass the bow onto the next tester.  From there on, I am quite certain that we will not be making anymore modifications on this and the bow the next tester recieves will perform exactly the same as the ones we will be stocking & selling. I will get some pictures up in a few days.
