I do.

Beautifully crafted, beautiful woods.  The fit and finish is flawless.  Curley Maple has a look all it's own.  Shoots as quickly and quietly as any bow I've ever owned.  

And Bill and Tracey are first class folks.

I love my Zipper extreme.  Wonderful craftsmanship, and simply the most pointable design I've shot.  The grip is amazing, fits my hand like a glove.  They are fast, quiet, and pack a punch.  

Bill and Tracy are wonderful people and will work with you through all steps of the process.  You will not be disappointed.

Luck fell on me one day and I purchased a mint condition STX with longbow limbs with Carbon an Foam cores.It came with the matching two piece quiver in exactly the length and weight I wanted.Its got a fantastic checkered grip and in all honesty shoots as fast as my go to recurves.I have never shot a faster or more accurate bow right from the start.The workmanship is with the best made today.You can't go wrong with a Zipper.
Quote from Howard Hill.( Whenever he taught someone to shoot) "Son make up your mind right now if you want to target shoot or hunt as theres a world of differance between the two"

bill is a very nice guy and this is a plus,but when you buy a bow you want performances.I own something  like 90 bowa and at least 12 custom bowyers bows,the top ones.Well the Zipper is on the very top of them. I have a XST with recurve Evolution limbs and I can't be more happy with it.craftmanship is really at the best,woods are hand selected with great care to details.The bow is maybe the quitest recurve I own,fast accurate and forgiving.In the beginning I was afraid that being so light(like a LB)and with a very low brace heigh it could be unstable,I was wrong death in the hands like none.I think it is one of the best designed bows ever.IMHO.

The Extreme on the right has been my long term, go-to bow.  Bill just let me know he is about done with a set of his newest hot shot limbs for it...

I bought a standard riser recurve from Bill a few years ago.  I shot one at Kalamazoo and bought it right there I liked it so much.  Looks good too!

Good news sawtoothscream.I am working on a bare bones hunter model.The riser choices will be either brown or black dymalux and the limbs will be either brown or black glass.They will have brown or black actionwood limb cores.These bows will have the classic limb design,but with an upgrade for some extra performance.As soon as I get a couple of them completed I will post pictures.
