We Remember Bob Lee
1928 - 2021
It is with a heavy heart that we bring you the news of the
passing of Archery Legend Bob Lee..
Bob was an active lover of archery his entire life, and
In 1951, he founded an archery manufacturing company that
later became known as Wing Archery. At the company's peak,
they were producing 300 bows per day. In 1963, Bob pioneered
and produced the first three-piece detachable limb bow on
the market, the Wing Presentation II take down bow. At the
time his three-piece bows had become the most popular design
of traditional bows in the archery world.
Bob was a charter member of the Pope & Young Club
and was also active in the early stages of AMADA (Archery
Manufacturers and Dealers Association) which later became
AMO (Archery Manufacturers Organization).
Bob was instrumental in helping to establish the industry
standards.His immeasurable contributions to archery
and bowhunting span six decades. The Bob Lee legacy is still
evolving and will continue to live on through his son Rob
who continues to produce custom, handcrafted, American-made,
top-ranking bows.
Bob was inducted into the AHOF in 2012 and will be sadly
missed by the whole Archery Community.
