I meant this post to be a thanks to Bill and Tracy, and pictures of my new Zipper, but that was 4 months ago. Instead I want to give a shout-out to a bowyer that many of you have already acknowledged.
Like many other trad gangers, I have had the opportunity to shoot a very wide variety of bows. I am in the unique position to work in a very large archery pro shop where we take in hundreds of bows a year, my reasons for shooting Zippers are well known by those who have shot them.
I grew up shooting a 1964 Zebrawood Bear Grizzly, and never stopped shooting trad, but had not hunted with trad gear for four years due to college athletics.The Zipper Extreme I put together thanks to Bills help is like my third arm, and has put an arrow on the mark every time I have needed.
One Turkey...
Many Squirrels...
And 3 days into the season....
Then came the real challenge... A buck I passed two years before, and had patterned well. I named him "the king" after watching him chase away all his competition in August, and because of his 3 pointed crown on his right side. November 16th I hunted his area for the second time, and had a nine-yard shot.... He was very slowly walking, and as I released my arrow sailed straight to its mark, and split a one inch sappling directly in front of his heart. He looked at the arrow, urinated down his leg, and headed off. What an experience.
I want to thank Bill publicly. Through the entire process he answered all my questions and exchanged stories and thoughts along the way. He is a true gentleman is every aspect and I cannot recommend him highly enough as a bowyer and a person. Tracy as well was great, answering questions and helping me choose a clear-coat for a refinishing project.
It is people like Bill and Tracy, who truly care about our sport and take the time to educate and share stories with others that make places like TG the great place that they are. Thanks a million Bill.
