As you can see I own 2 different Zipper SXT's. By far my favorite bows !! The grip fits my hand like a glove. They are very quick, and whisper quiet, and just plain shoot great !!! Plus you would have to look very hard to find any better people than Bill and Tracy Dunn.  :clapper:

I currently own 3 Zippers. A standard riser,a SXT, and a ZSR. The Standard 60",was my first and a real plain jane, but sooo smooth and quiet. I kept it and now have it carbon film dipped and use it for bowfishing. I could take the bowfishing gear off today and be very happy with how it shoots. The SXT 60", has Evolution limbs with carbon/foam. Again, beautiful bow, smooth, quiet and fast. My favorite off all is my ZSR 58" with Evolution limbs and the Accelerator limb wedges. Prettiest of the 3 and a more custom grip. A new Zipper "Hunter" model must be about as good as it gets for a few less bucks! Plus, and not to be understated, Bill and Tracy are the finest peple to deal with.

Attached are photos of my 2nd Zipper SXT.  Bow is now a month old and is by far the best longbow I've owned.  This bow is super quiet with no felt vibration at all in my hand.  58# @ 28" 64" Carbon & Foam longbow limbs. Riser is Kingwood & Tulipwood with Curly Maple accents/striping. Limbs are Kingwood & Carbon.  Thanks Bill & Tracy for a great product.

I have specs and wood combos on a page beside me right now. Price is up there, but the results are there to go with it apparently. One thing I've found is that it's hard for the pictures to do the real thing justice. Therefore they must be wondrous to hold. And to shoot. I love the matching quiver.
Big fight with myself vs a TallTines, but it's basically a coin toss there.
Really just have to figure out the money...

I have an original Bob Thompson Zipper.  I like it, very quiet.

I have an SXT with evolution recurve limbs carbon foam core.  There are very few bows I have owned in the same lbs that could even come close to the performance of it.  The grip is very comfortable as well.

Great product from the fellas at Zipper!~

I just thought I would let everyone know That I placed my order with Bill today. He was very, very helpful and took a lot of time explaining everything about Zipper bows. I will post pics of it when it gets here in May.....It's going to be a long wait, But it is going to be well worth it!!!

Congrats Charlie!!  I don't think you will be dissapointed!  

Can't wait to hear from you when you get it and what you think of it.

Jake

Maybe then you will trade me for the Sanders  :D    :thumbsup:

Been shooting a standard since 1988- also the new short-risered extreme by Bill- you cannot go wrong with their bows

My standard riser of curly maple and shedua is just a perfect weight to carry all day after elk or Ina stand after Whitetails

They're quiet stable and the service before and after the sale puts them in the "elite" class for me!!!

I have a Zipper standard made in 1998. Got it used at Denton Hill. I now have an extra set of longbow limbs , both are the same poundage. It has become my travel hunting bow. One case and riser ,2 sets of limbs at the same weight, a real nice set up. Oh, I forgot ....they shoot and look good also!!
