Warranties and Returns

Stock and Custom Bows

We consider our bows to be a long-term investment providing the potential for decades of enjoyment at a great value. We back our bows with a love-it-or-leave-it return policy: If you are not completely pleased with your purchase of a custom or stock bow, return it within 10 days of receipt for a refund, minus $95 for our payment processing expenses and administrative costs. We can do this because we have every confidence that you will be exceedingly pleased with your Bob Lee Bow. 

If for some reason you must cancel your order BEFORE your bow is built, the same $95 fee applies. However, if your bow is in rough finish or closer to completion, we will cancel the order and retain 50% of the original order price. We appreciate your understanding as to why this is necessary, and we hope to see you as a return customer in the future!

Under this limited warranty, Bob Lee Archery will determine whether the bow is to be replaced or repaired.

Warranty Limitations

  • We make every effort to use only the best quality limb glass in order to best showcase our beautiful exotic veneers. However, we cannot always guarantee “crystal clear” glass since we are solely reliant on the manufacturer. This is a challenge that every bowyer in the industry faces, and while frustrating for us as the builder, it is out of our control. For this reason, we sometimes encounter streaks in the glass that do not show up until our bows are finished. These are cosmetic only and in no way affect the integrity of the bow. It is important to note that darker veneers with make any glass anomalies more pronounced. If this is a great concern, we encourage our customers to choose from the lighter-toned veneers, or go with carbon limbs.
