Title: The Toelkes...
Post by: TxAg on April 25, 2014, 04:15:00 PM
Have some AWESOME looking bows in their inventory right now.

Just a heads up in case anyone is in the market.

I am really digging that micarta/ebony Lynx.

I got a used whip a few months back and don't know why I waited so long to get one. Those whips are one nice shooting bow.

Yup I saw the inventory the other day.  Some REAL fine lookers!  Man they have what is obviously mislabeled right hand but is actually a LEFTY ebony riser 62" Whip that is just so beautiful.  They always pick the nicest myrtle veneers.  If that bow was 64 or 66"...ooh.  

Tx'- I agree 100% that RH ebony and micarta Lynx is TOPS.  

The Toelkes are on my Top 5 list, zero question.  Have loved every bow of theirs that I have tried.

That's funny. The only bows I don't really care for from Dan's shop are his three piece bows. Something about the riser just looks funky. I know for a fact that they shoot marvelously, but I can't get past the shape. I guess that's why he makes a 2 piece, right?   :bigsmyl:

^^^ the two pieces are awesome. I love the quick assmebly and the bot ensures it is the same every single time.

I do like that with the three piece you can add limbs in extra weights, and i've grown to like the extra weight....i've only owned one though

Most 3-piece bows have that issue.  Some more than others, but it seems to be the nature of the beast.  Have to focus on the function rather than the form.

I'm in the enviable position of having to pick out a new Toelke.  I have a Chinook and an SS and figured I'd choose a Whip Classic, but the Lynx with two sets of limbs is poking at me.

My SS was just ordered and I'm thinking about a whip as my  next one. They are great looking bows

Can't believe the king wood, myrtle super D is still there. If I had extra cash it would be mine, for sure.

I have been admiring that bow as well.

Thanks a lot!

Now I can't get that mislabeled lefty Whip out of my mind. I'm going to have a Whip before the Fall. Too much good has been said about them. I had trouble with string slap on my 66" Mowhawk, but sure like the look and feel of the longbow. Also want to beat that shooting "problem". I want to try a shorter bow this time.
Now, where did I put that extra money...?

Just talked to Dan yesterday. He is going to make a set of 66" 45@28 limbs for my Lynx riser. The riser is Coco, black Phenolic with Juniper accents. I've asked Dan to select whatever lams he likes with the riser. Dan recommended highly figured, red Zebra wood lams with Coco wedges. Dan said it will look great, so I can't wait to see them.

Had to look, nice stuff!
My whip is a dream. Seems like I can hit anything with it.

Several of the bows have been updated as sold. I hope i get to daydream about some new ones shortly.

One of these days i need a take down longbow.

Just got the lynx about a month ago.  Hands down the best bow I've ever shot!
Title: Re: The Toelkes...
Post by: Scott E on May 02, 2014, 01:06:00 PM
I just can't believe how fast they build their bows. I put my order in two weeks ago and my bow is already glued up and being tillered. They said this is their busy season too! That is crazy fast for the quality of work they do.

I have owned a Whip,Super Static and a Chinook. The Chinook is the best recurve I've ever owned and I've owned a boatload of them.I agree with the others about the looks of the Lynx but I just know it's a shooter! been trying to Trade my Fox Breed for a Kestrel.Just have to try one!  :)

Post by: moththerlode on May 02, 2014, 03:08:00 PM
I really like those Toelkes also , have a T/D Whip and a TD Super D .  Dan is a great guy to work with also. You just really can't go wrong with these bows or the bowyer.
Well that is unless someone sells you one used with a modified grip without informing you, but that is a story for another day.

You're right about that. I'm down to two at the moment. No plans for more than that. If one comes in, one is going out  :)

I for one think the Lynx is awesome.  I just got ahold of Paul_R's combo in a trade so I could test drive it.  It's a Whip with MASS baby!!  The 58" recurve limbs rock too.  Crazy fast.  I don't understand how anyone could call the Lynx setup as a longbow funky or ugly.  I feel it has some of best lines of any 3pc longbow out there.  

I have one more model left to try- a Chinook.  Then I will have completed the Toelke tradslam hahahaha  :)

I wasn't in the market,but ended up with one anyway. I went to check the inventory out when I saw this thread,and liked the 66" with the quiver inserts. I called and he was actually on the way to mail that one out. We got to talking and he said in six to eight weeks he could have me one just like it,so I ordered one just like it,except in 64" Well there goes eight hundred dollars,but from what everyone says I think I will like it a lot!

Yes!!! You will love it. The 64" Whip is one of the best dang bows I've ever shot.

I'm ready for your Chinook review. I think you'll really enjoy it. I loved the few I had, I'm just a longbow guy at heart. I'm not the greatest shot, but the Chinook was easy to aim, quick, quiet, and vibration free. The shorter length (compared to a longbow) made it very handy in the woods also.

Post by: Mike VanBuren on May 02, 2014, 10:27:00 PM
I bought a used Chinook about three months ago here. I'm really impressed with the bow every time I shoot it. It is stable, quiet and fast. The myrtle limbs and bocote riser is awesome and I can't pick out any flaws. The Toelkes really do have a good thing going.   :thumbsup:

I heard all the good words on Toelkes. I called Dan the other day and he was very helpful so.....I ended up ordering a 64" Whip. Dan helped choose the woods based on my likes and am looking forward to June when she comes!  Going with Coco and black glass accents on she handle and myrtle limbs. Dan said he'd find a "smokin" set odd veneers.
