Title: Toelke Chinook
Post by: Kyle Lancaster on June 12, 2013, 09:58:00 AM
Those that own them or have shot them, what are your opinions? I've viewed some past posts. Would love to see some pics. I'm interested in a bow bolt TD.

Thanks
Kyle

I loved the one I had. I haven't shot a lot of recurves, but the Chinook was surprisingly quiet compared to the others. I don't have a chrono, but it seemed to have plenty of zip. Also, I'm a sucker for that locator grip and thumb rest.  

I tend to shoot a longbow better...only reason I sold it. I just stick with my Whips now.

By far my favorite bow and Lords knows I've owned a BUNCH of them.  I have a 51@28 bow bolt takedown and just sent my one piece #55 back about a week ago to have it taken down to around #50.  I had a third but I let my buddy talk me out of that one.  I've owned another 3 or 4 that got flipped for whatever reason but all were fine bows.  Fast, smooth, and quieter then most longbows.

Biathlonman,
 Any pics of the TD that you'd care to share?

Thanks
Kyle

You may also want to view Dan's latest designed bow.  I believe it can be purchased with the Bolt TD.

I have a TD Whip and really like that design.

They're should be all kinds on here somewhere...just trybthe search.  I think it was something to do with the bocote.

if you have a long draw you might look at the SS. If you need something shorter then would look at the chinook.
