Lil Hoot
« on: June 22, 2011, 11:01:00 AM »
Recently purchased a "Lil Hoot" from Lee Hoots Custom Bows in North Carolina and what a ...HOOT is is!

The bow is 52 inches and 52 lbs at 28 inches.  It is so smooth that I could not believe it was 52 lbs, however I put it on the scale and sure enough it was.

The thing I like about this bow is the craftsmanship.  This bow is more like a fine piece of furniture than a Critter Gitter. It has a grip that positions your hand in the same spot everytime...and a thumb rest to boot.

Lee is one heck of a bowyer and great person to deal with...no sales pressure, down to earth guy and just wants to make sure you are completely satisfied.

I have a couple of links liste and hope it works

I've got a 56 inch Hoots that is my "wife's" bow.

That little 42lb bow shoots so hard that I have to shoot 55-60 spined arrows for it.

Great grip and great bows!

That is one gorgeous bow, but they built it backwards. You'd have to shoot it left handed.

Lee, thanks for posting that other picture since it "completes" the image I was attempting to describe.

"Now...is that not a beautiful piece of furniture" or what"!

Shot it a little yestreday and what a sweet shooter!

Lee is that the bow you have had in stock? If so this was one of my favorite bows he has built! Beautiful work as usual Lee!

Chris, the one you were eyeing went to Minn. a couple months ago, this was a new lefty I built to take to denton hill but Rick talked me out of it  :biglaugh:    i'm working on another like it for the show. should have 12 to 15 recurves and 2 or 3 longbows going with us to Pa.

I was so focused on that stippled grip I didn't notice the shelf on the wrong side!

The grip is not only very pleasing to the eye, but is sculpted to fit my hand prefectly.  I don't have to distract my focus to get the "feel"...hand in correct place.

Also, I am a righty, but left eye dominant. I Made the switch a few years ago based on a comment to me my Gene Wensel and it has been the best move I made.  So, I believe the shelf is on the "Right" side. LOL.

Try one and you will LOVE it. A real shooter!
