I have three and like them all.My go to bow now is the short riser with 60" longbow limbs 50@28" killed a hog and bear with it so far.The smoothest draw and more accurate with it.

My favorite now kinda plain but man it fits me so good in the hand and my shooting has improved.

When you order your bow Rob will ask you if you shoot split or three under and will tiller accordingly.

As others have mentioned, I would not be concerned about hand shock in the least. Just like you , I love the grip!

Below is my Bob Lee Signature Series:

Wow Kip, that is really nice. What's the story on the matching knife? That really adds something special to the bow.

Rusty Rob sent me the drop off pieces of the riser when he made my bow.I bought a Helle blade and finished the handle myself.I also made the t-allen wrench and file handle (unfinished) in the pic.I quit smoking April 2005 and in March 2006 I went to Texas and put in my order for the bow and 3-sets of limbs from my no smoking money saved and sold my first Bob Lee.I named the bow Nosmo King.Still have not smoked or chewed any tabacco since then.I also kinda took a rasp to the riser so now it looks like this I just changesd the shape of the ends of the riser.Kip

Sounds like quitting has been good for you in more than one way.
Those Helle blades are awesome, and for the price they can't be beat. You did a really good job of keeping the original lines on the handle. It looks like something the factory would have done.

I shot a bob lee recurve at ETAR and I was blown away how smooth and pretty darn fast it was. I'm gonna order one pretty soon

I have shot alot of bows and The Bob Lee bows will hang right in there with the rest of them speed wise also.

I think we get seem to worry about speed to much anyway.I believe the more speed you have the less forgiving to some extent.

I live 25 miles from Bob's shop, and I've shot just about everything they ever built at one time or another, with the exception of the newest models....all very nice bows, and shoot as good, if not better than anything out there....great grips too.

The only Bob Lee I have left is an 80's model Thunderbolt 1pc recurve. If I remember correctly, Rob said the Thunderbolt was discontinued in the early 90's. It's definitely the most graceful and sexy recurve ever built, and possibly the quietest recurve I've ever owned.

I'd try to shoot one if possible, but I'm thinking you'll be happy with whatever you decide on.

I'm going to Bob's shop Monday morning to try one myself. It's between a BL and a Bob Sarrels for me.

I bought a used Bob Lee classic 64in recurve.Unfortunatley havent shot it much due to a bumb elbow.Its heavier than my other bows.It seemed super smooth and no hand shock.I cant wait to shoot it more.

Jeff, get with me this weekend. I have some limbs you may be able to use.

babs · « **Reply #32 on:** August 31, 2011, 02:15:00 AM »

I just got a used bob lee recurve in the mail today cant wait to shoot it. I shot them at ETAR and loved them. I have two new bows from the boys in Texas being worked on as we speak. I ordered a heavyweight recurve with dyed gray curly maple limbs and a bicentinal with micarta and green actionwood limbs and handle. I bought the used one off willow from tradgang to keep me company until mine are done i cant wait. they should be done early october just in time for archery season in PA. thanks for all your help gang

really nice smooth bows, with great service. I personally dont like his recurve grip the way it is and have him take a little more meat off, because if i dont it will smack me in the nuckle on my thumb every time if i dont. I like his longbow riser with both recurve and longbow limbs the best. Cant go wrong with a lee.
