Wing Archery Founder
Bob Lee
Elected to Archery Hall of Fame
An active
lover of archery his entire life, Bob Lee was recently chosen
as the newest member of the Archery Hall of Fame.
Bob will be inducted in three categories, Bowhunter, Influence
on the sport and Contributor to the Sport.
Elected to
the Bowhunters Hall of Fame in 2007, Bob now joins the 72 men
and women who make up the prestigious Archery Hall
of Fame.
In 1951 Bob formed an archery manufacturing company that
later became know as Wing Archery, which, at its peak,
produced 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. His three-piece bows have become the most
popular design of traditional bows in the archery world to
date.
A charter member of the Pope & Young Association, Bob
was instrumental in setting industry standards.
Always having had an intense love for bowhunting in 1959
Bob lobbied successfully for an archery only hunting season
and and later assisted Glenn St.Charles in forming the Pope
and Young Club.
Bob Lee’s immeasurable contributions to archery and bowhunting
span six decades. The Bob Lee legacy is still evolving through
his partnership and collaboration with son Rob as they
continue to produce custom, handcrafted, American-made,
top-ranking bows.
At the
age of 84, Bob still works full-time in the business that
carries his name - designing and building his, handcrafted bows.
