Title: Pic test new bow makes meat and Shupic Hilton
Post by: Kip on January 04, 2007, 09:11:00 PM
Hope this works  I quit smoking in 2005 and after 11 months I ordered a new Bob Lee recurve with longbow limbs.On Mardi Gras I drove to Texas and met with Bob and Rob and this is the result.

Sweet, those Lees are great shooters. I love the mass weight in the risers as well. Did ya get two sets of limbs? I see them in the pics. but the way ya worded the post confused me a bit  :knothead:  . Congrats on the deer and the bow!! Shawn

Shawn and Kyle I was learning to post pictures so left out specs.The bow is really a 58" recurve with 2-sets of 58" recurve limbs 56@28" and 51@28" I also ordered a set of 62" longbow limbs 52@28".It is really custom b/c the colors are reversed with less micarta and more bubinga and the limbs are also different than standard and the grip is perfect for my small hands there was a small high spot after Rob had already made it to fit my hand so I sent it back and now is perfect.Kip

Kip,
Isn't it neat how reversing the wood/phenolic changed the entire look of the bow?

If Bob changed his standard models to those, I bet his business would double...(he may not want to do that!!!)

That is one pretty handle on that bow. I love hunting those palmettoes too!!!

Yahoo!!!!!!Way to go KIP!  From your post on my thread it seemed luck hadn't been kind to you this year, so I am so very excited that she finally deceided to pay you some respect. Congrats on a beautiful doe my friend. What a way to break in your new bow.

Yep, gotta love hunting those Palmetto.
