YOUR New ZIPPER

Bottom limb identification:

Please note, the bottom limb has a smaller tip, and is also labeled with a “B”.

(It can be identified by viewing the end opposite of the tip ... near the limb fasting bolt).

Stringing the bow:

The top limb of your Zipper has a slightly larger tip than the bottom limb. Its purpose is to aid in stringing the bow.

Place the string on the bottom limb first, and then – USING A STRINGER – slide the string into place on the top limb.

Once strung, you may leave the bow strung throughout the hunting season.

Setting the nock point:

Allow the bow square to rest on the bow shelf. Measure ½” above the square (90 degrees) to set

your initial nock point on the string.

Brace height:

The brace height of your Zipper is measured from the string to the edge of the window. You can experiment with different brace heights until you find the one that gives you the best arrow flight.

The brace height can be adjusted by twisting the string. To increase the brace height: Leave the string on the top limb and twist the bottom of the string clockwise several times. Then, restring and measure the new brace height.

The suggested brace height measurement of the

Zipper recurve bow, with the Standard riser

should be between 7 to 7-½”.

This suggested brace height measurement of the

Zipper recurve bow, with the Extreme riser

should be between 6- ½” to 7”.

----------

This suggested brace height measurement of the

Zipper longbow, with the Standard riser

should be between 7-¼ ” to 7-¾ ”.

This suggested brace height measurement of the

Zipper longbow, with the Extreme riser

should be between 6-¼ ” to 6-¾ ”.

NOTE: The above brace heights are suggested. Like hand guns, rifles and black-powder guns, the archer must find the brace height that works best for them with their custom bow.

Now that you have your bow tuned and ready to shoot…

grab some arrows, go out, pick a spot

and Let ‘em fly!
