Zipper for my Daughter
« on: January 31, 2010, 09:34:00 PM »
I was bitten by the Zipper bug at ATAR this past year. After shooting some of them, I fell in love with the SXT with the 60” recurve limbs. They were amazingly quiet and shot very well. After working with Bill and deciding on my wood combinations and his new evolution limbs, I finally got it ordered! He is the most patient man I have ever dealt with. He answered hundreds of dumb questions and relentless pm’s that I sent him (He must have gotten plenty of practice from all of you  :bigsmyl:  )

 Through all of our talks, I found out he had a SXT that would work for my daughter. We made the necessary arrangements and the bow arrived! Wow! It is beautiful!  It’s a SXT handle with zercote, red phenolic stripes, and curly maple.  The recurve limbs have bamboo cores and curly maple veneers. It is 35#@25” and makes a 58” bow. I can’t wait for mine to get here!

Here are some pictures of my daughter with “her” bow! (Thats my new pocket tracker in the background)

Beautiful daughter Benjy, and the bow ain't bad either  

I have 2 Bob Thompson Zippers. Both are gorgeous and great shooters.  

I bet that gal is the envy of every boy around.

Congrats to daughter and Father!

Glad to see you sharing a life long sport.

She'll make a great wife for some lucky young man some day.

Cool stuff Benjy!


April looks ready for 3d season.

Those new limbs attracted alot of attention this weekend at Kzoo. I got to shoot a set on a beautiful riser and was very impressed.

I wished I had a father like that!!! No not really I love my dad very much and I know I'm not going to have him with me much longer> I just found out last week he has cancer in the lungs. I'm sorry Benjy for stealing this moment but it makes appreciate my dad when I see what you have sone with your daughter. That is a moment you can cherish for a life time. Good luck April with a nice looking Zipper!!!
