My Zipper may be gone.........
« on: May 27, 2013, 07:27:00 PM »
I had a set of 30# ILF limbs hanging around so I put them on my 17" Zipper ILF riser today. I wanted my wife to try it out. After 6 shots at 12 yards and she never missed the block target. I think my riser has found a new friend it wants to play with   :saywhat:

Often times a loss turns out to be the catalyst required to claim a most cherished future triumph.

:scared:    Considering the way she shot on Sunday,
before she found your Zipper, we could all be in real trouble.

Could be worse, like a wife who didn't want to play with your zipper ...   ;)

I think it's offical, the wife shot the Zipper with me and KAT, and Vintage45 at a 3-D today and I think it's now hers......She's doing well and I'm proud of her. She has only shot 4-5 3-D's so far and has yet to lose an arrow, sure she's missed some but not to lose an arrow or break one just starting out....amazing.

My Zipper is a keeper. Had it for years and years and got Bob(years ago) to make me a lighter set of limbs for me.
It's my 'go-to' recurve!
