First Zipper bow
 
I just won an auction for a Zipper bow on Ebay. Looks like a beauty. Its a Stacey Grascup commemoritive.I think its curley maple and babinga or Bocota.Can't beat it for 335 dollars for a takedown that he said hasn't been shot. And I think its cool that Stacey signed it. He seemed like a heck of a guy and very well missed in the archery world.

is that the extreme ?

I'm a huge Zipper fan, after buying a gorgeous Extremem last year and an all bamboo one this spring.

Nope, this is standard riser. I am not sure I would want the 6.5" BH of the extreme. My longbow already slaps my wrist sometimes at 6". Doesn't bother me, just don't like the extra noise.

Thanks for the compliments.

my extreme's are super quiet, and I don't get wrist slap. Maybe its the way the grip is designed ? I dunno ..... I just know I frickin love Zippers right now.

Yea, I would say so. My longbow has a straight grip which tends to bend your arm in much more. Do you have a high grip? This looks to be be a medium grip on this bow.

Have you ever posted a picture of your zipper? What wood is it? Did you get it from Thompson or Dunn?

(just kidding) LOL:D

You know I am sooooo torn over this traditional bow thing. I keep wanting to buy more or different bows but 1/2 of me keeps saying that I really need to just get to know ONE and shoot only it. I keep fighting the urge to look and I'm scared to death to go to that Baltimore Traditional get together or God forbid Denton Hill.
[:-]
I could see Denton Hill costing me $1000 in a hurry.

Yep, because at the baltimore trad, or Denton, they are going to put a bow in your hand and insist you shoot it. In fact, they will probably let you loose with it for a few shots on the 3d course. And that leads to nothing but trouble.:D

I hate to admit this, but I just bought a osage selfbow too. I got a disease. But obviously I am not the only one.

I still am looking for a PLV longbow.

Holy cow, this thing is freaky fast. I found 2216's with 200gr tips and its shooting like a dart and kicking at 190fps. Since its so faster than my other trad bows, I am going to add some wieght to get my POI the same as my savannah longbow, so I don't mess up my shooting. I am hitting a tad high with it.
