1 week sounds great to me.  I will shoot her a week and then forward her on based on this list with insurance as requested.

How bout bowyer's? Can i get it for a day or two? I haven't had an opportunity to shoot one of those yet, and hear a lot of good stuff about them.

If this is cool I'd love to give her a go.

Sexy looking thing, i gotta say that....   :thumbsup:   Kirk

Here she is, shes a beaut! I shot it with MFX 500s at 29 1/4" with 245 grn front end. You will stack arrows with this combo. Im curious to see what else works for different shooters. This bow is a fine instrument as with all Zipper products and I dont believe youll diagree.
                 Missed 5 rabbits with it ,all running shots which isnt hard to do but they were all only off by centimeters. Clipped a runner at the end of the hunt but didnt manage to put anything in the bag. Hunting season is over here so Im hoping someone else can break her in right. Shes on her way west to Clay Walker, have fun.

Are you going to offer it in a 62 or 64 inch length?

Bill,

Add the Kinslow brothers to the list.  We'll arrange to be in the same location to save one extra trip to the post-office.  Might even get a few other test-drivers in on the festivities.  And yes, I think I might have come up with another farmwood idea for a zipstick.    :biglaugh:   Thanks for the opportunity to try it out.

“instinctive archery” is more like playing the violin. Without practice you may remember the mechanics, but you will not be a virtuoso.

I think each of you should carve your address in the limbs just so we can see how well traveled this thing gets. Hehe.

if you need another tester I will do it...but honestly would not buy one due to other purchases recently made. LOL

Looks like a good length for turkey hunting out of a blind and would be willing to put it through those paces for our April season if it works out.  If not, best of luck with your new model and for everyone...GOOD SHOOTING!

Sexy bow for sure, Bill next project, how about a one piece recurve, I'm thinking of an SXT riser with evolution limb profile, would be hot !!!

Ok Bill, add me to the list.  You and I already talked about maybe ordering an SXT this week.  Maybe I will have to re-think this!

IT looks like we are getting quite a list.   :thumbsup:  

Andrew, TJ and I were just talking about the dogwood bow.

Kirk,  we can probably kill two birds with one stone.  I have been wanting to stop in and chat with you at your shop.  Let's plan for me to shoot her for three days and swing by after work so you can shoot her for three or four and send her on to Rastaman.  Let me know if this will work for you.

LimBender, you will have 2 Zippers in your signature line after you shoot this one! Consider yourself warned!

Benjy,

I'm a recent addition to the Zipstick list.     :p      I want to shoot it so I can get a handle on draw weight, grip and length - that and I WANT TO SHOOT IT.
