Photos of Bob Lee Takedown longbow???

[suttoman]

I did a search and found a similar thread requesting pictures of Bob Lee T/D longbows.  Perhaps all Bob Lee owners are Luddites, cause  I did not see many pictures.

However - not one to be so easily daunted - here goes again!  

I have just ordered a Signature T/D Longbow and want to see if there are any nice photos out there.  The pic's on the Lee site aren't that great so if anybody has some nice shots, may I see them please?

Any thoughts on the bow I have ordered will also be greatly appreciated.

Philip   not what you wanted but can get a longbow riser like it also. A recurve with extra longbow limbs.I also have a really small riser longbow but no pics and no longer made with the small riser but very nice to handle and looks good.Kip

Hey thanks heaps Kip - don't worry, it's a good start.  What do you think about the Lee longbow -I have read some good things about them?

I tell you what though - the customer service has been nothing but outstanding.  After getting the bums-rush from many of the  backyard bowyers I have had to deal with, (waiting weeks for emails to be replied to ) I decided to try a bigger company.

Sandy in the office has been fantastic.  She is right on the nail every time.  I am shortly going to travel Asia again for a few months and want to take the bow with me.  Sandy is rushing it thru so it will be here on time.  Looks like it will be here in a few weeks.

If the bow is half as good as they say - then I will be a happy camper.  I only lack a three piece so this should complete the stable.

Looks like you ordered the top of the range bow Kip - how does it compare with some of your other bows??

I had a Lee plain jane before this one killed deer and couple of hogs but after quiting smoking for 11 months I sold it and bought my new one.58" with 56 and 51 lb. recurve and 52lbs 62" longbow.I also found a 49lb. 60" longbow on this site and bought it was a good deal and that is the small riser I spoke about.I have two camps I hunt out of so I leave a bow at each, less packing and have a spare if needed.My only complaint is it makes more noise than I like with fast flight.The grip is perfect,tough and really smooth.P.S. 2.5 years now without a cig.Kip

Hey Kip...great job on the smokeless years...  

Here are some rough pictures of my Bob Lee recurve...sorry it is the best I got.  I had mine custom engraved with a deer on the handle and turkey feet.  Signature TD with two sets of limbs 55# @ 28in (60 AMO) and 52# @ 28in (62 AMO)

I have shot and owned many many bows!!!!! i have two bob lee bows and they flat out shoot! customer service is awesome and you know they arent going anywhere they have been in business forever, good luck with your bow you will love it! just to name some i owned blacktail, robertson, morrison, black widow, thunderstick, cari-bow, horne, martin, assenheimer, these are all nice bows but the lees just shoot best for me.

Thanks for the feedback guys.  That is an awesome list of bows Stick man.  In fact I have owned a few on your list too (one was extremelly poor on follow-up and customer service and p..... me off no end).  As I  mentioned (so far) the customer service at Lee has been nothing short of spectacular.

Will keep you all posted when she arrives in Auss.

Cheers - Sutto
