Have owned a lot of bows over the last 50years or so, including several "customs", but never had a Bob Lee, so I can't comment on them. I did/do have a bad shoulder problem and had to sell everything and buy new a few years ago when I had to drop 15-20# in draw weight. Bought a CheckMate Thunderbird first and wanted to add a recurve so I bought a Falcon. It is one of the best (if not the best) recurves I have ever owned & shot! Not fancy, not expensive, but a great bow for a very reasonable price!!!!!!!!!!! I got a shedua riser & walnut limb laminations and it looks good, too!
