Bob Lee bows?
« on: January 14, 2007, 10:20:00 PM »
I'm interested in the T/D recurves? Any opinions on his bows? Are they fast, smooth and quiet?

Yes, Yes, and Yes! There also great folks to deal with and have a very quick turnaround time. I ordered a signature series takedown on November 7th, and it was at my door on November 17th! I'm very pleased with it.

I second adeeden's comment.  I have two Bob Lee bows...a 58" Signature Takedown Recurve 45#@28" and a 60" Classic Takedown Recurve 51#@27".  I love both of them, and I say this after shooting quite a few bows before I decided on the Bob Lee.

Can't go wrong w/ a Bob Lee TD Hunter, great bow. I've had only one bow for the last 6yrs, theres a reason it's a Bob Lee.  :campfire:

First off it depends on how you hold the bow. Ya probably cannot go wrong with a medium and ya can tell the Lees your hands are not real big and they can slim the grip a bit. Now for the first three questions, they are not real fast but plenty quick enough. They are of average speed when looking at todays high perfromance recurves, they are however very smooth and ya can make them very quiet. I have owned several and ya will not find better people to work with on a new bow. Ya cannot go wrong with their bows. Shawn

Mark you will like the Bob Lee grip if your hands are not big I have small hands and Robs medium with a 5" or 4 7/8 throat fit me perfect.I was close enough to drive and pick a grip that felt good on his stock bows and he copied it but one little high spot so I sent it back and he fixed it perfect for me now.Kip

My, Bob Lee is 40 +/- years old. I love it! It is a one piece recurve.
I bought it three years ago. The original strike plate,rug, and all the original ink - was/is still on it.
 I called them to learn a bit about the bow, and could not have ask for more helpful folks. They belong here on TG.
 The bow shoots fast,smooth and easy.
No, it's not a 2pc, but it's a Lee.
Good Luck. Shoot straight.

One of the archery magazines recently had a bow test
of about 5 recurves. The BL's were one of the best performers, if not the fastest as I recall.

Outstanding bow for the money. Smooth, quiet and fast enough. Excellent customer service. Can't go wrong with a Bob Lee.

I still like mine, not as fast as my Black Widow but then it did not cost half as much.

My Bob Lee Classic recurve is 60" in length and 56 lbs. of the finest traditional hunting rig a guy could ask for! But those most able to atest to  this statement are no longer with us. They include Elk, Javelina, (not Javie) rabbit and rattlesnake.
