Finished this Zipper SXT last week with pics.
« on: February 02, 2009, 08:09:00 PM »
This one was an order.The new owner picked it up today,but before he could run off with it I took some pictures.You may notice the wrist angle is not the typical angle.That is because he has a metal plate in his wrist and can not bend it.Some of you may recoginise this one from Kalamazoo. We also played around a bit,and shot it through the cronograph if anyone is intersted.

Man, I really like the curves on those limbs!  A beautiful bow!  Lots of details there that really make it special.  Very neat!  Matt

The pics don't do it justice.  Saw it in person at Kzoo and is about the best looking bow I've ever seen.  Good job Bill.  :thumbsup:

The new owner did the shooting,and I watched the end of the shaft to see that he was consistant.The bow is 42#@28", Steve has a 28"drawlength shooting a 3 under tab.His arrow weighed 342grains for 8 grains per pound, and shot 193fps-195fps.I did not post this originaly because I thought guys would think I was BSin them.

I also had a chance to see this bow at kzoo and as great as the pictures are they don't do justice as to how nice this bow really is. Not only is Bill a great bowyer, but he and his wife are great people. I enjoyed talking to you at the show BILL.    Rodney    P.S. I'll be down to see you for my next trad. bow
