My 68" Super D should ship Monday. It will have Bamboo limbs, Texas Ebony riser and tips. It will be 50@28. I have never had a bow with Texas Ebony so I don't know what to expect. Anyone have any pictures of a riser with Texas Ebony? I let Dan pick the riser and tips all I cared was it had Bamboo limbs.
ive personally always been interested in a super D keep us updated on it and i cant wait to see pics
Ditto on the pics !
Dan seems to be able to get amazing examples of woods. Im sure it will be sweet!
I should find out Thursday!
Super D's shoot great, I've owned alot of Hill style and mild r/d bows and the Super D is towards the top of the heap as far as I'm concerned. Post some pics when it comes in.
Had a whip with texas ebony. Its a nice warm chocolate brown.

This is my third super D from Dan. I have had every model that he makes(and some cases, ones he used to make) over the years. I got rid of my whip which is the first Toelke bow and was very blessed by a member here and got it back. Tried to get a couple of the ones I have let go over years back. I really like his D bows. I have shot a few from other makers and to me they are the most comfortable ones to shoot. I can't really explain in words how they draw other than it has a smooth gradual increase in draw weight and on release I keep my elbow, wrist and teeth in place. Some you have to grip in a way that isn't comfortable for me. Some of these might be different for other people this is just how I have experienced with these bows.

I'd love to see a strung and unstrung comparison pic when and if that would be possible for you?
Hope you love the new one.
The new 68" Super D is the best imho. Have another on the way. This version has a bit wider limb at the fades and riser than the 66" in order to accommodate the longer length. If you are a 66" super D shooter with a 28+ draw, you should really have a look at the 68.
Here is a link to pics of my 68 strung, unstrung and next to a 66" version.

Thanks
Thanks
Ugh. Dan had to go and build another bow I want. Lol.
Why is it double posting? Either way, my bow is in Terre Haute that's in one county south of me urrr.
Here is Chris's new 68" Super D!

Thanks again for posting them for me
If you draw over 28" this a must have. I could draw this to my ear and not have any finger pinch no problem.
Gents,
I "test drove" a Super D that Dan sent me a couple of weeks ago. Wow! I've never drawn a smoother bow. At my draw length, I was pulling about 60 pounds, but it felt like 40. I shot and shot and shot and never felt any fatigue. What a bow.
That being said, I also test drove a Classic Whip and shot it noticeably better. So I am now in line for a C Whip from Dan and about to be noticeably lighter in the wallet! Black and White Ebony on the limbs and riser, and some East Indian Ebony sprinkled strategically about. 50@29, 66", beavertail grip, hand rubbed finish. Sometime after Christmas. The waiting begins...

Congratulations on a fine bow. I bought a 66" Super D off ToddZ recently, I'll admit it took me a little longer than normal to get dialed in to the way the Super D likes to do things, they're very light, but now it's my go to bow, smooth, quiet and great fun to shoot.
Cheers, Scott.
Thanks, they are fun to shoot. I just got done shooting at leaves in my yards. Once you get it braced in the sweet spot it is a very comfortable D shape longbow to shoot. I think mine is 6 7/8". Todd has some numbers on the speed. mine flings arrows very hard. The grip on this bow is a tad narrower than my last one and seems to fit my hand a little better. It points really well.
My 68 was shooting a 10 gpp arrow with a decent static release at 175fps.
