Don...
I'm officially "retired" now. Should have time to shoot with you as soon as the snow melts enough to see the targets!

I'll call you in the next week or two.

Jerry,

Glad that arm healed up without any surgery. I am really wanting to make it up to Comptons again this year. Great time.......with Great people, if we come.....we will be staying in the same motel again. I hope to see you there.

Wayne,

We don't have to wait until the snow melts to shoot out at the club, it's indoors. I'll look forward to hearing from you.

O.K........"Red" arrived here on Monday Jan. 11th. I have had her out to the club and shot indoors three times now.

Time for a little update. Words will have to suffice until I can get some pictures of her "in action" as well as the results.

The first time out, and my first group of four arrows.....I took the nock off of my second arrow, with my third arrow.   :saywhat:  I can't get over how "consistently well" I shoot this bow. If anyone is wondering.....or considering having Bill build them a bow, I would HIGHLY recommend the SXT. When I got on the list, I was unsure of whether I wanted the Extreme Riser or the SXT Riser. I shot them both down at ATAR this past June and made my decision. You can't go wrong with any of the Zipper line of bows. I don't know where you could find nicer, more accomidating people than Bill and Tracy Dunn.......if you have the chance to shoot any of his bows at any of the shoots that he attends, and don't.......well....your missing out on something that will really surprise you.

Oh, and I shot her through a chronograph last week also. My GT 35/55's with a 50 grain brass insert and 125 grain tips for a total weight of 458 grains averaged 185 ft/sec. She is 64" and 45#@29".....foam cores, and carbon lams on the backside.

Did I tell ya'll.........I REALLY like this bow !!!!!

Well..........I do, and Thank-You, Bill and Tracy for building "Red" for me.   :notworthy:

Great Review, EXCEPT we need MORE PICS of that beauty! You're right about those Zippers "ZIPPING" an arrow down range. I got two used from TG'ers recently and have been really enjoying putting them thru their paces. Great bows for sure. Congrats, and don't leave us hanging too long for those pics, it just ain't right to tease too much!

And a couple of action shots.....you'll have to pardon the "ugly fella" in the pictures. The beauty of "Red" makes me look even worse.

Don,

You've got to take a pic of the bow assembled, strung up and at brace.  That bow is a looker for sure.  I bet it'll be hotter than a fire cracker on the 4th of July.     ;)     :D      :biglaugh:

Beautiful bow...and nice quiver as well.

I had the pleasure of shooting Bill's bow with foam carbon limbs for a couple days. All I can say is what a shooter!
