Thanks for the input. Looks like I should start saving.

Everthing said here is right on.  Especially the part about being heavy in the hand.  Some archers prefer that though.

[rugerbh103]

Whats that mean, heavy in the hand?

[Kip]

I think he means the mass wt. of the riser.Two of my Bob Lee risers were kinda of heavy ,not a bad thing but an older riser I found and bought was a scaled down  riser in the longbow style,so very nice a little lighter and my favorite hunting bow just shoot it better.I do not think Ron makes them anymore but wish he did.Kip

I've never owned the take-down but recently I picked up one of the new Red Wing Hunters and it's as good as any bow I've owned.

Anytime bud I hope I get to do another one for you and joe again this year!

Yep, that's what I meant.  Smooth shooting though.

I think I can be objective...

I do not own a Bob Lee, but only because the grip was a little thick for me.

I agree they are great shooters.  I shot them side by side with some of the most expensive, "top end" bows out there and was super impressed.  I personally, and this is just my opinion,  felt the Lee was the better bow against all except one. I chose the other one due to the thinner grip. Bob's bows have no handshock, are accurate, fairly quiet and draw smoothly. Not to mention he will answer any question you can come up with and is VERY patient.

Honestly, if it were not for the thicker grip I would own one. Heck, I felt guilty not buying one of his bows after all the time he spent answering my questions and letting me shoot his bows. He is a fantastic guy!

Just my observations,
Charlie

I love my bob lee

If it's possibly try one out, as pointed out in buckeye_hunter's example a great bow for one person may not fit someone else's personal preferences. On the other hand if you like to buy and flip lots of bows, trying to find one that fits you might be a big part of the fun.

Personally I love my Bob lee hunter, it's a well made bow that's stable, draws smooth, and shoots reasonably fast. The mass weight of the riser is one of my favorite things about the bow, it seems to help a lot in keeping my bow arm steady.

I have 2, one curve and one longbow both take downs.  I have several top end bows and the Lee is the one I go too.

I own two BL takedown's and I have a hard time trying to figure out which one to take to hte woods.  My signature is my "go to" bow, but my hunter is not far behind it, i am in the process of trying to find a bob lee stick.  I think i am starting to be a Bob Lee fanatic

[BroMark]

I've got a Bob Lee takedown longbow now and love it.  I owned another one that I foolishly sold.  I won't make that mistake again.  I'll add a recurve one of these days.

My Bob Lee is my go to bow.
