Man Law: New Lee Signature Hunter
« on: March 15, 2008, 12:43:00 AM »
In accordance with Trad Gang Man Law, here are a few pics of my new Bob Lee Signature Hunter.

It's 58", 52#@28", brown stained Ash riser with brown glass back/belly on the limbs.  Super smooth and easy to shoot well. Haven't been able to chronograph, but I'll guess in the low-mid 180's with a 525 grain arrow.

With all due respect to my CM's and Kotas, the Signature Hunter became my primary bow by the end of our first shooting session...

Great bows and I loved my Sig longbow.  The grips are excellent and much better than most of the customs I had.  I sold the Sig recently to order the same bow in Bubinga (Elite).  I rang Sandy to put the order in and they had gone up over 70 bucks - was going to cost 835!#$%&*&!!

Great bows and company but too much for a Lee.  I had to purchase a bow from another company.  However please don't take this as a neagative statement.  I loved the Lee, the service and company are great.  

Just for me having to pay the extra postage to Australia and the exchange rate and customs - was going to cost me over 1,000 bucks.  I bought a Firefly for under 500 bucks.  It should be here soon so will let you all know how it compares with the Lee.  Happy shooting

You and that bow look like best friends already! Congrats on a beautiful shooter.

Jon nice bow.I have 2-risers and a bunch of 58" recurve limbs and couple of longbow limbs a little longer but all my hunting is done with the short limbs and thinking about a short riser but with 58" it will give me a 54" bow and a little worried about the sight window size.Kip

Thanks guys.  This bow kind of reminds me of my Kimber 1911 in 45ACP, the only bellygun I really trust my life to.  Nothing space aged or fancy about either the Kimber or the Lee, just top quality weapons with clean, classic lines.

I'm very impressed with the grip, not too big and not too small.  I use ultra-thin raquet wrap on my bows as it provides a sure grip without adding much thickness.

I use a T-300 rest in conjunction with a rug strike plate to prevent noise on the draw.  Super reliable, forgiving, versatile, and accurate set up for hunting.

Most will notice the eclectic selection of arrows in my quiver, ala the "Where Has The Fun Gone" thread. Can't help it, I love to experiment. The things they have in common are a spine right around 400 and weight of 510-525 grains.  

The arrow I'm shooting in the photos is a 29.5" CX Terminator Hunter 4560 with a 50 grain insert, 125 grain point, and 4" vanes.  Also present are a CX TH Select, same configuration, a 30" XX78 2314 with vanes and 125 grain judo point, a 30" CX Terminator Lite Hunter 6075 with 50 grain insert and vanes, and a couple 29.75" 2117 XX78 & XX75's with 4" feathers.  All shoot to the same POA...

Very Nice! All The Best With Your New Bow!
Someday you and I will take the Great Hart by our own skill alone, and with an arrow. And then the Little Gods of the Woods will chuckle and rub their hands and say, "Look, Brothers. An Archer! The Old Times are not altogether gone!"

For those who don't know:

Eclectic...means a varied mess 8^), which is how I refer to my quiver of arrows.  

Beautiful bow.  Bow Lee knows how to do it.

Those haybales are behind a big bag target.  Just there to catch any leakers so my neighbor doesn't find them with his tractor tires...

They actually aren't too bad by themselves if a guy uses blunts rather than bullet or field points...

Try the Ames Pillow Targets stuffed with Plastic and you won't need the Hay Bales to stop the arrows, They cost about $20.00 and have an image on both sides. Very economical.

Not pass throughs, just anything that goes wide of or below the bag.  Believe me, that Cabelas Magnum bag stops anything I can throw at it!

But thanks for the suggestion..
