I'm a recurve guy- have been for 40 years, but I got this bug to try a longbow. I went through a few of them and couldn't shoot any of them worth a darn. I happened upon Leon's booth at the Baltimore shoot several years ago and picked up one of his takedown Slammers. It was so nice I had to have one. I bought one used off the classifieds here and then traded a Bob Lee stick for another off here. They are the only longbow that I own and the only one I can really shoot. I took my only deer last year with one. Leon is a true gentleman and a heck of a craftsman. I don't brag about a lot of bows, but I will brag about his because they are that good. ...but don't let everyone else know, because it lets us that do pick up some great deals in the classifieds!
