Now that is a nice longbow!!
Love it
Awesome. Would like to know what the woods are and the specs of that beauty.
Travis
That looks just like my new whip. I have had mine a little over a month, and never expected it to be such a top performer. Performs as good as my ACS, what a bow!
I can't say enough good things about it! I almost want to sleep with it, but the wife won't let me.
Dan does some fine work that's for sure! What woods are in that baby?
Outstanding!!! Is that cocobolo riser, it looks awesome. I'd guess either juniper or yew limbs. Great looking bow...Mike
Travis, the bow is 66" long, 54lbs.@29". The riser is cocobolo, the veneers some exceptional Juniper cut near Dan's home. Tip overlays are cocobolo and riser overlays yew, myrtlewood and cocobolo. It is a worn-out phrase but pictures truly don't do this bow justice, especially these pictures. I will try to get some in better light tomorrow.
amazing bow.
Dan has some of the best Juniper veneers.
great wood combo. Very nice!
Rob
That's a beauty for sure.!!
Dan builds an awesome Bow.. :thumbsup:
Hey Mike how have you been? Yes again the riser is cocobolo, it is amazing how the striations lay out so symmetrically then suddenly turn away at a right angle in the second photo down. Dan commented that he had never seen a piece grow like that and I certainly have not.
Thanks Mike for the compliment and all the others too, I will pass them along to Dan.
That is an awesome lookin bow. I'm really considering a whip and it's nice to finally see some pics of one. I'm lookin forward to more pics!
Jason
Jim, that is what stood out to me. It almost looks like two different pieces of cocobolo glued together. Awesome and very unique. I know you'll love that bow, the classic Whip is my favorite!!! Enjoy...Mike
Awesome looking bow :bigsmyl:
I've never seen Juniper that light, very nice. Maybe it's White Juniper. Love the Classic Whip.
Outstanding Bow! :thumbsup: How does she shoot? Must be real smooth at 66"'s. :archer:
A lot of great grain. Very nice
Thomas, she is a fantastic shooter. Actually I don't notice it being any smoother-drawing than my standard Whips which are all 62" bows but then Dan's bows have made me realize that limb design has much more to do with "smooth" than limb length. I am still amazed at how well his little 52" 1 pc. recurve shoots at my 29" draw. I find that this bow has everything that I loved about the standard Whip and my Super Ds rolled into one bow. I chronographed some arrows the other day and she is very quick, smooth and stable and even considering every Toelke I've ever shot has been quiet, this bow is real quiet!
Congrats on a fine bow! She's a looker, and being a Toelke shooter myself, I know she's got to be a shooter. Every bow Dan has built for me exceeded my expectations. I have sold a couple that cause me pain everytime I think of them. I was in Bowies last year with one of my Whips and the guy in their bowshop said "Hey, Jim Wright is a Toelke shooter too". I live right across the line in Mississippi near the Lake Mary/woodville area south of Natchez.
Beautiful bow!
Love the juniper Jim! My Lynx will be shipped tomorrow and has the same juniper veneers coupled with a riser that will consist of Pau Ferro, micarta and ebony accents. It will have Dan' s new HS limb design. I do hope the post office isn't behind on their deliveries.
Tim, Dan mailed this bow Priority Mail tuesday morning in Ronan and I got it here in Baton Rouge on thursday afternoon, hope yours is as quick. By the way, Dan sent me a Lynx combo to shoot at some 3d shoots last spring, you will love the bow!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed Jim! It was fellow trad members like you, Tater and Chromebuck that got me on the Toelke wagon! :jumper: :jumper: :jumper:
Great looking bow!! I will have to shoot Tim's when he gets it.
Once you go with a Toelke you'll never go back!
Man,that is one fine lookig bow,I think one of the nicest I've ever seen.
another fine example of the craftsmanship been turned out by Bowyers today.We are in the Golden Age of bowmaking!
She looks mighty fine. :thumbsup:
Wow check out those veneers - thats exactly the problem with trad archery; you see one of those and say "I need that too".
Jim,
She is a pretty as you described to me earlier. You are convincing me to 'pull the trigger' on one myself.
Love Dan's bows, especially the Whip. Jim yours has awesome looking veneers. Enjoy
