Title: got my new Protege longbow
Post by: coltar on February 13, 2011, 06:56:00 PM
Where are the glue lines? This bow has the best "no" glue lines you could imagine. I was expecting a lot from Lee but he superceeded my expectations. This bow is quiet,easy to draw & the workmanship is outstanding. I had not shot a bow in 4-5 years due to a shoulder injury & surgery until Lee built this bow for me at a draw weight I was comfortable with. Many thanks Lee for a fantastic bow.Guys,the pics don't do justice.

Here is a video of me shooting my new Protégé Hunter Longbow (made by H. Lee Robinson). The bow is 62" in length and 44#@28.

Nice bow and good solid-consistant form for someone with a repaired shoulder. Glad you could get back at it, feels good doesn't it.

Lee was very helpful in building a bow that would suit my needs.His desire & eye for perfection really shows in this bow.The pics really doesn't do it justice.Happy camper..er..shooter here!!

Thanks again for all the kind words.

I really appreciate the support from both John and from all the Tradgang members.

I currently have a new bow in inventory that is discounted $200 off (introductory offer) to help get some more bows out there for people to see. If anyone is interested, here are the details on that bow...  http://www.protegelongbows.com/inventory.htm

Straitera,you really should try one!!!!I promise you won't be sorry,lol.It was more than I was expecting,& I was expecting a lot.This bow shoots quietly,draws smooth & is surprisingly fast,as it is only 44lbs @ 28".
