At Denton Hill I found a good deal on a used Zipper. It had a High wrist grip and when I talked to the fellas at The Zipper both they said they could change that, so off it went to Zipper for a re-do. What do Zipper owners like about your bows and their performance. I won't have mine back for a few weeks. Big thanks up front....ron w

I just bought one from the 'Buckster' and I love that bow!!! I just got in from shootin it in the backyard and hit nearly everything. And if it was a miss it didn't miss by much. You're gonna love yours when you get it.

Number 4 is on order and should be here in August. Great workmanship, awesome grip, smooth shooters. Bill and Tracy are fun people to deal with and are great communicators.

I do not like the high wrist grip either so I purchased Bill's new ZSR riser it is more of a medium grip and not as large. Bill and Tracy are two excelent people to deal with and do very excelent work. This is my first Zipper but have been eyeing them for a few years and one of my good buddies has two and loves them,I am quite sure you will hear from him!!

Here's what I think.

my contributions are near the middle of the page. You got yourself a great bow at what sounds like a good deal.

I've been eyeballing the Zippers too, for some time. I especially like the look of their forward-grip ZSR riser. Any further opinions would be appreciated.

I should add, I have owned 2 Standard risers, an SXT with the Evolution limbs, and have a ZSR with the Evolution limbs on order, with a specific grip request. Like I said, Zipper Bows, Bill and Tracy Dunn are great, even if they won't put me on the Pro Staff!

I own 2 Zipper Extreme's both with Classic limbs.
The grips are great finish is great too. Bill &
Tracy are the best. I got my eye on a SXT, some day.

Quiet, hard shooting bows with great workmanship and attention to detail. The bow design itself seems to capture as much energy as possible.

And the GRIP is the kicker that almost everyone who loves zippers talks about. I had shot several standard riser zippers and thought they were nice grips, but then I picked up Norb Schultz's extreme at one of the Texas Sweat. I knew I was going to buy one then because the bow and my hand felt glued together. I feel like Zipper's are one of the easiest pointing bows around.
As with most things everyone finds a bow they like and thinks its the best so it is subjective point of view, but I love em.

When I first held this used one I really felt like it was part of me. After I drew it and saw the price ......that was it. The bow I got is 64"- 52#@30"and it's smooooooth!!!

My backyard spring 2009. This is how much I like them. :D

Vermonster,
All I can say is.....I guess you love a Zipper!
Are all those the same riser?

vermonster13 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 31, 2010, 10:34:00 PM »

That is Bill and Tracy Dunn in the second picture. Bill came to turkey hunt with me last spring after the Baltimore Show and Tracy bought a bit of marble(right Bill lol). We got to play with some of everything he was making at the time and I have an SXT here now with foam core longbow limbs.

I love my new Zipper SXT. It is a sweet shooting bow. You are in for a real treat! Bill and Tracy are awesome people also!

I have a SXT with the Evolution limbs,it is one of the most incredible bow I ever shot.It is quiet,VERY fast but still forgiving and accurate.The grip is one of the best i ever put my hand on.Also if it is very light in mass it is very stable.This bow has set a new standard and is a next generation weapon.

Zippers are great bows. Quiet, fast, and extremely pointable. The grip is amazing. Bill and Tracy are great people. You won't be disappointed.

cacciatore · « **Reply #16 on:** August 01, 2010, 09:48:00 AM »

Did I say they are accurate? This is made at 25M(28 yards)at the first group of 3 after it is been strung the very first time.

Did I say they are beautyful?Well beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but for sure they aren't ugly.
