Title: Dan Tolke.....Stand up guy
Post by: Stickbow on April 16, 2016, 01:54:00 PM
I hesitate to post this so as not to infer that is an issue with Dan's bows but in his own words "Crap happens"

I went to Dan's shop a few weeks ago to order a Lynx. I brought my year old Chinook with me so that he could match the handle. (a little fuller than their standard). When I handed the Chinook to Dan he noticed something he did not like the looks of. After a few minuets of discussion and getting Jared's input Dan announced he would be making me a new on! What? I had no idea there was an issue with it?

What more can you say but wow, that's a stand up outfit right there.

So thanks to Dan and Jared here is my new Chinook;

Just talked to Dan last night. I should be a new father in 6-8 weeks!! Never shot, held, or even seen in person one of his bows but from everything I've heard I figured I couldn't go wrong. This just goes to confirm my decision.

I have a 58 inch Lynx recurve and it is one of the best recurves I have owned. The profile of the strung chinook looks similar. Any of you guys shot both? Looking for your input, I know the mass weight is going to be less but I am really impressed with the performance and shoot ability of the Lynx. Thanks tom

Dan is the best.

I've shot both the Lynx and the chinook.  The Lynx is a smooth shooter but the chinook is better still.

Nice Chinook.  I am shooting a new to me Chinook and loving it!  Very fast, quiet and easy to shoot.
