Title: Today is new Toelke Thursday!
Post by: A.S. on May 19, 2016, 01:25:00 PM
I was waiting at the P.O. when they opened this morning. That's one great thing about living in a small town!!  I walk in and the Post Master asks if I have a new bow. Guess I had that look in my eye.    :biglaugh:  

Anyway, she is a 62" Lynx 48@28. Cocobola/Micarta riser and Myrtle limbs.   I had a couple special request on the riser that Dan nailed perfectly. I have only shot a few arrows through it, but I can tell that it's going to work out very nicely!  Quiet, quiet, quiet is the best way to describe it.  Can't wait to get out and poke some foam critters with it this week.

Doesn't the postmaster say that to you on a weekly basis?

Nice Bow!

My mail man has my cell phone number and texts me when I have a package that needs a signature.   :rolleyes:

How long did you have to wait for your bow? I heard they get them built fast.

Wow!  Classy looking bow.  Have you shot a Whip?  if so how do they compare?

Mine took about 6 weeks from order to delivery.  He said he has to wait until he has a few LH risers on order to to them all in one day since he has to switch his machines over.

I haven't shot a Whip.  This is my first Toelke.  I am very impressed with the workmanship.  It is right up there with my Blacktail.... flawless!

that is a gorgeous riser!  I love cocobolo, and a nice, big recurve riser accentuates it so well.

Another beauty. Congratulations.

Thats a beauty Allen!

Post by: Hopewell Tom on May 19, 2016, 07:28:00 PM
I'm not sure anyone is getting the Cocobolo and Myrtle combo as well as the Tolke's.
What a beauty and it's always quiet when their bows get shot, so everyone says.

Very nice Allen.  Tim pushed you over the edge!  It has been said many times but Dan is the man.  I can not imagine shooting any other bows.  No need to for me anymore.
Title: Re: Today is new Toelke Thursday!
Post by: Jim Wright on May 19, 2016, 08:31:00 PM
If you shoot recurves, some limbs made for your riser will make a superb one.

Beautiful!!  I have the bug again

Since it's a lefty... let me know if things don't work out!

Just kidding... it's a beautimous!

Congrats!

Post by: jt85 on May 19, 2016, 10:13:00 PM
Congrats on the new bow. I have a Lynx with recurve limbs with the same wood combo although I do like your myrtle a little better than mine. What color string are you putting on that bow ?
Title: Re: Today is new Toelke Thursday!
Post by: Archie on May 19, 2016, 10:51:00 PM
Wowie !!  I like the looks of that!

For a couple months I held onto my brother's 66" Lynx a few years back, and I fell in love with it.  Some day I'd like to get me one.  And after seeing yours, that day may be getting closer!

That is a great looking bow! Too bad the shelf is cut on the wrong side!

My new classic whip arrived today also. A beautiful bow and shoots like a dream. 62# @28 and I draw about 29.5. Zero stack at my draw length.

Jason, I built an 18 strand Fury string for it. It is cocobola, pink, with 2 black strands and brown and pink yarn puffs.  I built it to match my arrows from D&M Custom arrows.

I will try to get a pic of it up later.

Let's see how many arrows you can run through it today Allen!  I'm pretty sure you wore yourself out yesterday!   Congrats buddy!  Love the myrtle wood choice.     :thumbsup:

It's a fantastic bow Tim!  I appreciate all then input you gave me.

Thanks for all the thumbs up!  Dan does a fantastic job. I procrastinated ordering one for several years.  I'm glad I finally bit the bullet and got it.  It is a joy to shoot, and did I mention that it's QUIET?   ;)
