Holy Smokes Bill!  You have been busy....and it looks like it paid off, what a sweet looking bow.  Love the grip, and that profile is curvy   :bigsmyl:

WOW, Bill I love the looks of the Zipstick!!! You are sure making it hard on my bank account....LOL

Is the grip close to the SXT? Also what will the lengths that it will be offered in?

Pretty bow!

Is that bloodwood?

Length? When it is all said and done the plan is to offer this bow from 54"-64".As of now I can build it from 54"-60"

Grip? This bow is glued up in such a way that I can put nearly any grip on it without making changes to the form.  It takes a little longer to build this way but it allows a lot of flexibility  to customize the grip area.  The standard grip will be very much like our SXT.

It was a bit of a challenge to build a 1 piece longbow that still looks like a Zipper bow.I think we have managed to keep the Zipper look.

This one is bloodwood and curly maple 58"46#@28. I will have a 56" 58" and 60" at Kzoo for folks to shoot.
