Title: Toelke Pika vs Whistler
Post by: rocketman on April 24, 2020, 08:33:16 AM

I'm curious, for those of you who have shot both, any thoughts on differences, or preferences?  I have a 27.5 inch draw.  I'm considering a 54 or 56 inch Pika, and a 58 inch Whistler.

Thanks!

Both are great bows. I prefer the Whistler over the Pika just because the Whistler is 58" and it is easier for me to control. The Whistler just hits where I look.

I also prefer the Whistler at 58 inches.   The 56 inch Pika is only about one inch shorter when strung but I like the feel better.   I am a 28 inch draw also.

I love my 54” pika. I’ve never had a whistler, so I cannot compare the two. I have a 26 1/2” draw length, and most all of my bows are 60”. Having said that, Dan is building me a 54” t/d Pika. They are awesome bows.
