I have a Bob Lee Signature Series takedown recurve in a box sitting next to me, and I'm about ready to loose it! Picked it up this morning at the Post Office, but unfortunately, I am not able to open the box while I'm still here at work. [:@]

I traded my Howard Hill Crocodile for it.

More to come........

You don't look so good. I think you need to leave work early.

That has to be unconstitutional torture to make one sit there without being able to open the box.

I probably could, but I really shouldn't. [>:]

Congrats to you Bob! Post up some pics when you can, sure would love to see it!

Yee Haw!

It's almost 11:30 PM Eastern as I type this. Are you still out shooting it or what? We're waiting on pics and report, ya know.

Yeah for real..........one thing I have learned with traditional bows. New arrivals might as well be babies.

Hand out the stogies and give it a name!

Wouldn't you know, I hit some real traffic on the way home last night due to snow. Took me twice as long. Then when I finally got home, my son was waiting for me with his jacket on and needed a ride to school because he forgot his homework. I finally get home and my wife has some hamburgers ready, so I ate. Yes, this was all killing me as I looked at the still wrapped package.

Finally, to the basement I go.

My first impression when I unpacked it was the weight of the riser. Seemed a little heavy to me (fine by me). Then I slid my hand into the grip with stillno limbs on the bow. The grip really impressed me. There was no room for movement once the hand was placed in. Next I put the limbs on and strung it up. I didn't bother checking brace or nock position because I had to send some arrows through it NOW.

I was again pleasantly surprised at the quietness of the bow, and the deadness in hand feel. No handshock at all. And extremely quiet, even without tuning it, just a thud. I sent all different spined (2016,2018,2020,2217, and some 60/65 Firs) and tipped arrows (100-200 grains)though it last night and was surprised that it accepted all of them. I couldn't single one out as the best. I'lldefinetely have todo some bare shaft tuning though. I did like the feel and sound of the 2018 with a 200 grain tip.

In all my first impressions were very good, nothing negative at all. And I am very happy with the trade. But I don't always trust the first impressions. Hopefully, I'll get it out to the club this weekend and give it a real workout.

BTW, the bow is 64", 52#'s at 28", so I'm shooting it around 55#'s.

Alright. I love getting new toys in the mail. Yesterday I got in a new bunch of bamboo. I was all excited. My wife thinks im crazy. She says, "only you can getexcited over a big package of grass." I had to run out to the shop to grind it and get it in the oven to temper.

I am on the verge of ordering a new bow, and I'm as antsy as can be already. Can't imagine how bad I'll be after another month or so waiting for it.

Congrats on your Bob Lee!! As you have already found out they are great bows.I own a few and couldnt be happier.Here's my Bicentenial 62" 45#@28.5".Good Luck with it and may all your arras find their mark.
