Title: Anyone know the mass weight of Bob Lee bow
Post by: dad on January 16, 2017, 07:37:00 PM
I was wondering about what the mass weight of one of their 3 piece take down bows. I do know that different woods would be different weights. I was wondering what a 58" and 60" bow would weigh. Looking for general weight. I know B/W go from 3 to 3.5 # for mass weight. Just wondering what the Bob Lees were going for in the mass weight.

I tried weighing mine with my digital fish scale and it says 2.4 pounds but I don't know if that's 100% accurate. It's usually pretty close. I have a 60" with a Purple Heart riser and camo finish.

A 58" Smoke recurve weighs 2#

A 64" Blaze longbow weighs 2# 9 oz

A 62" Bicentenial Elite recurve weighs 3# 6 oz.

The Smoke and the Blaze are all wood.  The Bicentenial Elite riser is mostly phenolic.  Of the more recent Bob Lee models, the Ultimate and Heavyweight have even more phenolic in the risers, so they would be even heavier than the Bicentenial Elite.
