I've got a soft spot for Zipper bows...

You see, my Grandfathers prized recurve is a 62" Osage beauty built in '92. I remember being in awe of the graceful simplicity of that bow as a child, and how it slammed his hand made cedars home with gusto. He has never carried that bow afield in search of game, but allowed me the privilege. That recurve and I have had quite a few adventures, and 8 years ago she sent an arrow through my first traditional deer.

So, when it came time for me to pick up a new bow, Mr. Dunn immediately got my attention. I happened across his stock bows page, and without hesitation, gave him a call when i saw a 58" Osage ZipStick aptly named "Yellow Jacket". Bill answered every question I had, and went above and beyond for me, assuring me that the bow would handle my 29" draw length. He was also kind enough to make sure he had a pair of matching shirts for my grandfather and I. A few days later, far before I was prepared to stalk the mailman, a long package arrived.

I'll post more and better pictures later, but take my word for it... The curves on this thing are simply to die for.

Bill Dunn is one of the best out there. I have a major weakness for Zipper bows. I already own 3 Zippers, and have a Zipstick on order.  Congrats on your new bow !!! I'm sure your going to love it.     :thumbsup:

Bill and Tracy are top shelf......I have a Recurve with 2 sets of limbs and 2 ILF Zipper Standard Risers......all good stuff!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

My zipper is my go to bow 65#@31 and so darn smooth. I bought it used and someone botched the riser refinish. I'm going to send it to bill after season and get a makeover.

The Zipstick is my favorite Zipper - may be up for another one soon.  It is a smooth, fast shooter with a great grip that I plan on taking in the woods this fall.

I like that bow!  That osage already getting less yellow jacket looking.     ;)  

Hope Bill doesn't quit bowyering with all that broadhead making.     :help:

You guys are too kind!
I'm glad you are digging the "Yellow Jacket", Matt. Although it is less yellow than it once was. Honestly though I think it looks better now that the Osage is starting to darken some.

Just ordered an SXT and some Grizzlys. A very positive experience so far. Can't wait to shoot it. Jan isn't too bad for a build time either.
Everyone says I will love the SXT.
