Great looking, great shooting bows. Tremendous customer service. I currently own 3. A standard, an Sxt and a ZSR(My favorite) with Evolution limbs, bamboo cores. Looking forward to trying Bill's new longbow design at KaZoo. I shoot a lot, and hunt a fair amount, and the finish holds up extremely well. Bill is always working to improve and refine his bows. You can't go wrong with a Zipper.

I'm intrigued by these bows as well. Is there a noticeable difference between the longbow and recurve limbs? I like what TJ said about the shootability of these bows. I also like a very quiet bow. Are the recurve limbs louder than the longbow?

Looper, they are a touch louder than Bill's long bow limbs but that is the nature of the beast. Compared to other recurves they are as quiet as any I have ever shot. Don't get me wrong. They aren't much at all louder than the LB's though.

You can hold a zipper with the pressure anywhere in the grip and it will still shoot a straight arrow.

With all things considered they are in the top two of all the bows I have ever shot. A bow is a personal choice as folks like different things cosmetically but as far as shootability and performance which don't change from shooter to shooter they get no better than a Zipper.
A huge DITTO on that.

They are truly excellent bows! AND the customer service is second to none!

Which would you fellers recommend for a 31" draw? I was thinking about the ZSR or the SXT with the 62" recurve limbs.

I wanted to Hate the bows badly as I think bulky 3 piece risers are Tacky but......

I shot Ron W.'s Not only was it easy on the eyes but the first time I shot it, all arrows Stacked nicely in the 10 ring! Again on the second try and 3rd. That is all I needed to know. If I ever get a 3 piece I know what I would want!

I dont know Bill personally but he has always been professional and very nice through messages.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Just received a new Zipper longbow extreme riser, carbon foam limbs. This bow is extremely user friendly! I had bonded with the bow in about twenty minutes and was shooting it like I had it for years. 51#@26" 650 gr. trad. arrowdynamics. Have not chrono'd but it is fast and forgiving. The grip is a delight,can't wait to try a set of recurve limbs with it! If I can figure out how to post picts. in the future I will,it is a thing of purty! Also I donot find this riser bulky,actually average to slim,perfect!  :thumbsup:
