That all ebony SXT that I saw at Denton Hill was simply gorgeous!
Zipper's are world class bows!

Ron,
Right now I have 2 SXT's. One SXT with Classic limbs and another with Evolution limbs. In my opinion there isn't a better recurve out there!!!
The thing I really respect about Bill is that he is always trying to build a better bow. He never stops working on improving his bows. And there customer service is top notch. Not to mention all his bows are so beautiful!!! You made a wise choice my friend !!!! Enjoy the new bow.
Bill

You know how I feel about them.My favorite recurve.Mine are older but they all have class.Youll probably stop your incessant horse trading for a while now. Zippers will pinch ya,,, I mean hook ya. See you in Jewett.

Most of what I have heard or seen on Zippers came from people who own them and love them. I know they were great to talk to at Denton Hill. The web site has a lot of stuff on it also.

I have had mine since 1991. Bob Thompson built it for me when he was out of Ravenswood West VA.
It's still as good a bow today as it was back then, and true to form I am still as poor a shot as I was back then.
I have other bows I shoot, but I always come back to my Zipper.

I'm looking forward to shooting mine and may hunt with it this fall.It's good to hear all the positive comments,, when you buy a used bow you kinda take a chance unless you have shot one somewhere along the way. All the good things I hear, and the one one I shot, I think I'm going to be a happy camper!

I'm thinking Zipper. Too much good press and then you LOOK at them. I'll never hold one until I get one, but feel quite certain it'll be all good. I really like the matching quiver, even though I'm not big on bow quivers!

Got my riser back today from Bill and I just want to say what a nice job Bill did on it.It now has the standard med grip and seems to fit me much better. When I do my part it shoots where it should. Thanks Bill for great workmanship and a great product!!
