Bob lee bow?
« on: January 20, 2016, 10:01:00 AM »
I don't really hear much on here about Bob Lee bows these days and curious to get some feedback.  The riser on the 3 piece seems to be the style I'm looking for.  I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences with them.  Feel free to shoot me a PM if you'd prefer.

Where are you at Gilbert?  I'd love to try one out.  

From what I can see on the website there is really one model of riser with different materials used in the construction, or potentially with a longer site window.

I had a couple Bob Lees and I thought they were solid bows.  Then I recently acquired a Bob Lee Bicentennial 62" and it is off the charts excellent.  I like everything about it.  It is my go-to bow.  The customer service is great too.  I'm a big fan of BL.  Good luck.

They are great bows made by great guys. You'll never regret buying a Bob Lee, guaranteed.  :)

I don't know where you're located but they will likely be at the Chester shoot in May and they always bring plenty bows to try out.

Well, it looks like they're about 2.5 hours away so I'll have to figure out a way to make the drive.

Coughtandhobble, I'm in the DFW area.  Where are you at?

Great bows. Great shooters. Most comfortable grip out there IMHO. You won't be disappointed.

I'm east of Houston. It is about the same drive for me to get to Chester... Heck just go see Rob and JJ, you'll have a good time.

First custom bow I ever bought was a Bob Lee Signature Takedown Longbow in 1994.

I have never purchased another bow. That thing has been to Alaska, Wyoming, New Mexico, the Midwest and all over Louisiana and Mississippi.

I am hard on equipment and this bow has never failed me.. ever. When I needed to go lighter I just ordered new limbs and had the same grip that I am used to. Great bow. Well made.

Would you describe the riser as more of a longbow or recurve style riser?  I thought it was a more slender riser but I may be wrong.

Im in San Antonio. I shoot a recurve with a short 15" longbow riser. The longbow riser is just a little bit thinner and fits my hand better than the recuve riser. Its a great set for me.

Your welcome to come on down.

I grew up in San Antonio, I need to make it back down that way soon.  It's hard to tell online, it looks like they are all basically the same riser with just an option for the longer riser if you'd like.  I'm very interested in the "ultimate" model.

I had a Bob Lee(not a 3 piece) it was a smooth and quiet bow. Great bow.

Great bows and great guys.  A good friend of mine has a three piece and it is amazing.  I have an older one piece Bob Lee  ;)  (mid '60s Red Wing Hunter).  Only place that I know of where you can still get a new production bow from one of the archery legends of the '50s and '60s.

Ninesworld, I should have known you'd have one.  I should just PM you every time I want to know about a bow!

Thanks everyone for the feedback, keep it coming.
