My new Zipper
« on: April 30, 2014, 11:44:00 AM »
Mailman came a couple weeks back with a neat little box for me from Bill and Tracy at Zipper. I'm lucky enough to have them in bear camp this spring, and with my curiosity about their bows, I thought it was a good a time as any to get on the build list.

Double sided carbon limbs with B&W ebony tips. B&W ebony riser with an awesome dark flare (Madagascar ebony perhaps...Bill??). The bow is Bills SXT model at 58"s and is #58.

The first thing that struck me when I opened the box was how the riser was not nearly as bulky as I thought it would be. Quite small actually! The matte finish is awesome with no glare at all. Thin throat in the grip with a quite low wrist fit the bill.... no pun intended!

The bow was tuned from the 1st shot with my FMJ 400's. Quiet without any work and FAST....real fast!

The SXT is centre cut the same as my other bows so there was no issues with accuracy from the 1st shot.

I also have a matching quiver (not in the pics) and will be bear hunting with the new 3 blade Bill has created. (which btw took 2 minutes to get hair popping sharp)

Now to deal with photobucket.

Sweeeet!!!!
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.
