[redeemed]

are these 2 bow co. the same?

is one bow overall, better than the other?

which co. is more customer oriented?

[B.O.D.]

they were called "Partners Bows" at one time, I think Mike learned from Bob Lee.

I've heard differing stories about Palmer bows and the service, never heard anything bad about Bob Lee, hope that helps.

As I understand it, at one time, Palmer worked for Bob Lee when Bob owned Wing Archery.  Bob sold Wing Archery and started Bob Lee Archery and Palmer started Palmer Archery.  I own two Bob Lee bows and I have shot several of both.  I prefer the Bob Lee's myself, but both are very good bows.  The wait time for Palmer is extreemly long and Bob Lee's wait time is only about 4 to 6 weeks (although he has some bows in stock).  I can say that the customer service at Bob Lee is exceptional.

I have never owned a Palmer so I can't give you any pros and cons on one of his bows. I had given it serious thought about owning one but I gave it up after numerous attempts to reach him was met with failure.

On the other hand, Bob Lee makes a great bow and their customer service is second to none. I have never EVER had a bad experience dealing with Sandy and the boys at Bob Lee. Their 54" Hunter Pro is the sweetest, smoothest short bow I have ever shot - bar none.

Matter of fact, I have a new Hunter Pro due to arrive tomorrow if UPS is on time. Can't wait for it to arrive. Mentally, I'm more than ready to shoot but physically, well, that's another story.

You can probably tell that I'm a big (short) fan of Bob Lee. You can't go wrong. Good luck!
