Hey Chris all Zipper Bows come with a restraining order against you since Ohio.

It won't be strung up until I get to shoot it lt-m-grow. Been shoveling and cleaning up ice today.

Norb, I've never left the phase, I just space it out some. Show up for Shawn's bunny hunt and you'll get to shoot a new SXT with some special limbs    ;)

Being a woodworker myself, I'll second that! We always called it Fiddle-back maple. Looks like a hand rubbed oil finish Dave? That wood/finish combo can make a block of wood a thing of beauty!

That's about as nice of a figured piece of curly maple I have ever seen. I doubt you could ever replace it.

This one found me Bob. I got an extra set of limbs with it for a different riser I have. I won't post pics of those until Norb is a little more healed up though. Hate to be responsible for him having #2.

Shawn, Bill is making up a bow special for the JLMBH. A SXT with foam cores LB limbs and maybe a little extra in the limbs if things come together. The Bunny hunt guys will be among the first to shoot these limbs.

Oh what the heck, Norm look at your risk. lol

I WILL BE TRYING MY FIRST ZIPPER IN A MONTH OR SO, GOT AN SXT ON ORDER. ACTUALLY , BILL HAD THE LIMBS I WANTED IN STOCK BUT HE HAS TO BUILD ME A RISER CAUSE THE RISER I WANTED WAS ALREADY GONE. SHOULD BE A BEAUTY, CATHEDERAL GRAIN ZEBRAWOOD LIMBS AND THE RISER WILL BE ZEBRA AND BACOTE WITH BLACK ACCENTS.

Ok Dave, we've seen the parts, now you need to put it all together and strike a few poses!

Danny, it's hard to believe that you've yet to shoot a Zipper. We all know that, like a good sailor, you've been around a little.  :D  

Not many people have shot the new SXT, including me so don't limit your judgement of Zippers on the newest little cutie. Knowing which bows you've seemed to like, be sure to try both the standard and extreme regular risers too. I can send you my Extreme for a try out if you promise not to run away with her.

Superb!  :thumbsup:    :clapper:  

I like the fact that the maple is not too blond, it almost looks like an old muzzleloader stock!

That is a great looking bow.
