i have a boblee signature elite and was wondering if anyone else has one and what the think , also i was wondering if i could make antler limb bolts for it

Great bow. I have a Signature that I've often contemplated selling but it's just one of those bows that you can depend on. It shoots great and will never let you down. As far as I'm concerned the Lees have pretty muched perfected their design and there isn't much need to mess with it.

I'm sure you could make antler limb bolts but would you want two antler bolts on each limb? I'd like to see it if you do.

I have one with 3-sets of limbs 2-recurve and 1-longbow,the knife handle and other misc.handles were made with drop offs of the riser that Rob sent me.

The bezel used on the Bob Lee limbs inserts into the limbs so making antler limb-bolts would not be straight forward. If you could find some bushings that fit the limbs it would work. I've thought about making some but I don't think it would look good with one antler-bolt and one regular on the same limb, and two antler-bolts per limb would be too much IMO.

Great bows...I've tried many and the Lee take downs are my favorite.

I have a 64inch, 66# BL Signature that I'm just starting to shoot. It is a very efficient bow and throws my 730 gr arrows very well. I'm with the others, not sure about how the antlers bolts would look. But if you figure it out please send us a photo.
Kip- Your bow and knife set look very classy. Mike

I was at a bow shoot yesterday at Waukegan Bowman club in south east Wis. where I watched a guy shoot at moving ping-pong balls floating up and down on a cushion of air from a vacuum out-port. He stuck eight of them. Keep in mind you have to center punch the floating ball at 18 yards in order for it to stick. He was using a Bob Lee Signature and told us it was his favorite bow. Ha! We could all see why- it fit him well! Ha!

I just bought a Bob Lee T/D longbow off the classifieds. Should be here by the end of the week. Can't wait to try it out,I also like heavy arrows 725 gr, Lam- birch,cant wait to try 'em!! Always heard good stuff about The Lee bows, hope they were right!!!

I have a older signature,very nice shooter, I am as accurate with this bow as any recurve I own.

Antler limb bolts would be difficult for sure.

Question? has any one seen (in person) the shedua models. Wondering how nice the wood is? Shedua, from what I have seen on other bows is not the prettiest of woods, maybe they got their hands on some nicely figured wood, just curious.

I bought the Classic Elite Takedown longbow in 2007 and I love it. Its not the fastest bow but, Its a great shooting bow.

Bob Lee Signature td longbow with short riser 53@27,I love to shot different bows and tend to shoot my other lighter bows , but when hunting comes these is my go to bow it is smooth and i always tend to shoot straight the weight on the riser helps make you a better shot , excellent bow!!!!! I am looking on buying another low weight for my wife

Kip · May 18, 2009, 09:14:00 PM

Yes I have seen the Shedua classic or elite with micarta(not sure)Mike Byrge recently purchased in the longbow riser,I wish he would have posted a pic.He told me it shoots as good as it looks and he can shoot and it looks good.To answer nkw880 questions I love my Lees and they have killed some

Kip · May 18, 2009, 09:19:00 PM

I also have another older riser and a bunch of limbs that fits me perfect also.Kip

I got a Bob Lee from a guy and I am send back to Bob Lee to have a new set of limbs and the old limbs taken down a 5 pounds I love this bow, down the road I will get a Long Bow from Bob Lee. Blake

Brent Hill · May 19, 2009, 05:02:00 PM

Great bow, I love my classic elite 48 at 28. I have already ordered a second set of limbs for her. For me, she shot better than my psa 111 so I sold that one. Bhill

northener · May 19, 2009, 06:36:00 PM

Kip--nice idea with the accessories--good job!

I wish Lee's would offer choices of exotics woods. I can certainly understand why they don't but I would really love to have a Myrtle/Bolivian Rosewood Signature Elite Recurve.

nkw880 · May 21, 2009, 01:13:00 PM

thanks everyone for your help

cajnhuntr · May 21, 2009, 07:25:00 PM

Hey Kip, that is a nice looking lee you have there. I see that is a great hunting bow also. I have a couple recurves, one older 62" and a newer short riser 58". They both shoot great. I was thinking of maybe trying a Widow but after shooting one this past weekend at the Sherburne 3D shoot I changed my mind. I'll stick to my Lee's.
Also Kip, did you shoot the Sterling Harold shoot a few weeks ago. I shot on Sat, lots of fun as always.

TomMcDonald · May 21, 2009, 07:28:00 PM

I have one and the handle is way too chunky.

Kip · May 22, 2009, 07:22:00 AM

Hi Tony I bought a predator very nice bow but no better than what I had with my Lees.I tried a 56" last season O.K. but not enough diff to have 3-of them so just kept my 2-58".I shot the Sterling pretty good Sat. but Sunday terrible.I did not spend a lot of time there b/c out of town family at home.Kip

cajnhuntr · May 22, 2009, 08:54:00 AM

Kip, I know what you mean. I keep thinking I need to get a different kind of bow but I keep coming back to my Bob Lee's. They may not be the fastest but you cannot find a better shooter in my eyes. I guess they just fit me and my style of shooting.
