Anyone else shoot a Bob Lee or just a regular bow?
Checking brad loyalties here. :clapper:
I'm not to particular to brand, just goodness.
What do you guys shoot?
I've shot Bob Lee bows for years, and think they are top notch. I have three of them now, and have sold, given away, or traded others. If I could only keep two bows, one would be a Bob Lee and the other would be a Black Widow. Actually, that would be a lot easier decision to make than which one of those two I would give up if I could only keep one.
Got 3 and 4 sets of limbs That should till you something
Forgot to add that I got an extra set of spliced wood 40# limbs for when I get old.
Between two risers and three sets of limbs, well, Ive been content for 2 years now.
Do need a Widdow too though... :notworthy:
The bows that have caught my heart aren't made anymore, so I'll have to be careful.
:coffee: :campfire: :archer2:
I have a bunch of bows but two of my favorites are three Bob Lee made..in 1961,1962 and 1966.

I have four just like those two.Nice talking to you guys.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Am quite fond of my Bob Lee Ultimate. Extremely accomodating....Harvested a 4 1/2+ yr old...200#...8 pt cull two weeks ago...have another on order...among the very finest, if not the finest, in my stable of bows.
I have a '64 RWH and a '69 Thunderbird. Two of the best production bows ever made IMO.
I am shooting a Primal Tech takedown recurve!

Shoot/hunt with a Dark Archer, heck of a nice short recurve
I've been shooting these early RWHs a lot lately. A '63 rosewood riser with tiny tips and a '65 bubinga riser with transition tips and nice sapwood in the riser. Both a good shooters. Oh yeah, and that's an even earlier 62" RWH with walnut and maple riser. I have never even held one of his newer bows but have been wanting to.
I have a Hardcore. It's a pretty sweet bow!

I have a similar pair, a 45# '63 Red Wing Hunter and a 47# '67 Thunderbird (Lockwood riser). Great bows.
Bagged two doe so far this year with the RWH.
I have heard great things about Bob Lee's but never have shot one.. I guess for now I will just shoot regular bows haha.
My wife and I have 2 Bob Lee bows each. Anytime I look at some of the beautiful bows being made today, I have to stop and realize that no matter what bow I acquired, I would always grab a Bob Lee bow when it came time to shoot/hunt.

Me? I 'm just shooting a regular bow, a regular gorgeous Blacktail Sitka that is. If I had deep pockets I'd probably have a bunch of regular awesome bows. Bob's included.

A kind of Bob Lee but much faster :goldtooth:
Bill,
Welcome to the site and here's a few of my Old 60's bows . A 1962 Red Wing and a pair of White Wings one "Rosewood" and other with "Wenge" wood riser which I haven't even seen advertised in the old catalogs . [attachment=1]

Bill,
It occurs to me since you are looking for info on Bob Lee, you may wonder why people are replying with their photos and info on Wing bows. Wing was the predecessor of Bob Lee.
McDave, That helps....
I've had 2 Bob Lees and they were great bows. Just the handles were not for me. To chunky. But we're good bows for sure.
I am quite grip sensitive having a small hand. A 5" throat circumference is at the max for me personally. A 4 3/4" throat works great and a 4 1/2" works best for me. My Bob Lee Ultimate has a 4 1/2" circumference.
I use to have thirty-six different bows. I had both production bows and custom bows like Robertson, Schafer, Morrison, Mahaska, to name a few. Then I sold all my non Bear bows and have been shooting Bear bows for the last 20 to 22 years. :archer2:
I shoot a Bob Lee - along with 3 other production bows and a dozen selfbows. The Bob Lee is the fastest and smoothest shooter of the lot. Very impressed with it.
I have a Bob Lee Classic. Shoots great and is one of my favorite bows
I guess regular bows. My two favorite are:
A MAX Black Widow 60"
A Tall Tines Stickflinger 62"
I have to say I still can't get Hill style bows out of my mind.
My wife told me to buy a Northern Mist Ramer 66" for Christmas. It's not going to make it by Christmas as it's hung up someplace between Alabama and North Dakota. Can't wait to try it out.
The Wing History is the main reason for my choice. #3 in the country. That had a lot to do with my choice.
Then Bob is in the Archery Hall of fame twice, I think? Good people on the phone when ordering.
I wish that I could find a L.H any old Wing. :goldtooth:
Ordered a new Widow because of the rep. Its all good.
My first Nice bow was a Bear Montana. I have 6 customs. Took me about 20 years to acquire.

You see 3. Sadly every custom bow I have. The bower is no longer with us.

Good looking bows Rustyspike. I think the better the bow the less of them you need.
:dunno:
I just got a regular ol bow I made in my shop... :)
Yea. Don't need any more. Can't afford a new one any way. Have a bunch of supplies to make some new arrows. We had some one come over to clean around the the outside of the house. Man they trashed all my consumables and dip tubes. I rent. Still have around 50 arrows with filed points and a half dozen with broad-heads in a nice arrow box. So I am still setup. I find it hard to hunt in PA compared to SC. Where I used ti live.
