I have had two different Bob Lee bows and they were both good. The first one was a three piece T/d hunter longbow and the last one was the Elite T/D longbow in solid Bubinga.
As said they were good bows but with all due respect to Bob Lee I think there is much better around for a lot less money.
My Elite Lee cost 835 USD - by the time I had to pay the exchange rate difference into Australian dollars, freight and tax it cost me nearly 1,500 AUD.
I bought a gorgeous three pice T/d from Jim Jones of Firefly bows. He had it to my door in a month. It was the same type of bow as the Lee - three piece T/D longbow.
However the timber combinations are much more varied - you can choose whatever wood you like. The workmanship is much higher class (I had to return my first Bubinga Lee because of bad frosting under the glass and even the second one still had machine marks that had not been sanded out), the bow is whisper quiet and just as fast as my Lee was.
I would look further afield and not just decide on a Lee so quickly. As I mentioned the Lee Elite was over 800 USD, but my Firefly is a much better bow with a much higher standard of finish and only cost $475 - and that is with Bubinga riser, boo cores and beautiful Figured Ash on the limbs!!
