I'm looking for some input from guy's that have shot the new SXT riser. Looking for some opinions on how the Zipper's compare with other T/D recurves you've shot.
Thanks, Guss

As fine a recurve as you can get.A few as good but none better.I shot an sxt at Denton and will probably order one after hunting season. I have an Extreme and a standard now and love em.

Excellent bows in my opinion. Can't beat the warranty that Bill offer's on his risers and limbs.

I have 2 Zippers, both Standard Riser. Both are excellent bows. I'm not familiar with the SXT riser. What is that?

The SXT is a 14" riser based off the extreme except it is shorter,narrower,and more sleak throughout.The grip has slightly less mass to it as well. It was designed for our longbow limbs,but will accept both recurve or longbow limbs.The SXT is available in a recurve model from 56" to 62" and as long bow from 58" to 64"Any existing limbs can be adapted to the SXT.They bolt up the same but limbs for the extreme or standard riser will be wider then the SXT riser.There are a few pics. on our web-site.

one of the greatest attributes of the zipper bow is the wood combinations that Bob used to make the riser lighter in weight than most risers of the same size.
The curly maple and shedua is particularly light. This makes for a great hunting bow the last half of every day hunting,believe me.
My standard,built in 1989 has killed so much stuff it ought to be on death row!
I have notshot the SXT but rest assured,if its a Zipper its been designed,tested, and proven to get the job done.
Good luck in your decision.

Thanks for the info guys, thinking about a new curve, narrowed it down to a couple bowyers, I really like the looks of the SXT riser for the reasons Ray mentioned. Smaller, and lighter.
The Zippers are beautiful, and they offer an unbelievable choice of wood combo's.
Thanks again, Guss
