Show me your Zippers
« on: September 14, 2011, 06:28:00 PM »
As soon as Bill gets back from his hunt I'm placing my order for an SXT with recurve limbs. I like to see some pics of your Zipper risers to help me with my wood combo choice. Thanks

I will get pics of mine up soon....you will not be sorry with your recurve limbs.  Bills design with carbon foam are incredible shooters/performers!!

Oh my! I have talked to Bill and he is a great guy. His bows are beautiful.

If I ever switch from a Long Bow to a Recurve, I'm looking him up first.

Whatever you do Fred don't pick Wenge unless you want to see a grown man cry. I'd post picts of mine but you've seen it. Come on guys post those Zippers for a brother.

Here is the only picture I have of mine on my work computer. I have no idea what the wood combo is, but I do know that it is one sweet shooting bow.

I don't have a pic but there was one on Bill's site of my ILF riser. Shedua and cocobolo just so nice. The cocobolo is almost orange, I have never seen anything like it!

Rusty, The more I look at pics of Tom's bow the more I think Bill is gonna need a crying towel.  :biglaugh:
