I just got a Chinook, and am real happy with the workmanship in their shop. Not only that, but the turnaround time is short enough that I had to scramble to fund the bow, as it was done before I could start saving up for it! It was well packed, cost a fortune to ship, and had two strings and a bunch of extra stuff with it, too. Ready to go, just add arrows!

Dan and Jared are one heck of a team. Now I need to try a Whip.

I readily admit to being a "shameless Dan Toelke fan" and that has come about over a few years and Dan making me more bows than anyone deserves to have. Each of them has been superbly crafted of beautiful woods and a pleasure to own and shoot and the longest I have waited from order to delivery has been 29 days. In addition to being a superb craftsman, Adam has hit the nail on the head about Dan being a world of knowledge concerning all things archery. He is a master of form and technique and I am still amazed at how much he has taught me over the phone and by the fact that he always has time to help and still run a full time custom bow operation. I would add that in addition to all this, Dan and his son Jared are two of the best people you will ever deal with.

I just got my New T/D Chinook. This is Toelke #6, Of which I still have 5. I too am a "Shameless Fan of Dan's" I am going to all Takedowns so I am having to thin out my collection (Sadly). In any case, I Love his Bows, and there is not a greater guy out there. Tu Compadres, Sutty

Just so you know, it's an unspoken law around these here parts that if you mention a Toelke bow, you have to show some pictures.  :)

Dan is the man i every way shape and form. went up to his place for something to do on my birthday. Jared and Dan took me fishing and had a great time.Picked up my new Whip I got myself. Since I sell the black glass Whips from my shop I have been desiring an ALL BLACK Whip. Dan used the sheaths from my ewe I shot a few years back for the tip over lays and some of the sheath for the belly portion of the riser. He left the texture to it. I must say this bow is outstanding and exactly what I had deep inside my twisted brain. She is named "Midnight Assassin" I been "Whipped" to death me thinks. its all I shoot!
