Many of these posts start out with this picture:

This bow started several months ago for me when the PBS sent tickets for the Big Five Bow Raffle to be drawn at the Cincinnati Banquet last March.  I knew which bow I wanted and stuffed the bucket at the banquet.  My strategy worked and I was drawn the winner of the Toelke bow.  Shortly after, I called Dan and ordered my Whip HS.

She's 62" and 50 lb @ 26" and the Classic grip, just what I asked for.  I wanted North American woods so the veneers are myrtle and the highlights are osage and walnut.  The riser is phenolic to hold the Bow Bolt takedown.  She's a shooter, too.   :notworthy:

That's a really great looking bow!  The osage and phenolic look very cool together.  I've never shot a Toelke, but in the unlikely event that you find yourself wanting to sell it, let me know.

P.s. I think that back yard tree stand compliments the landscaping very nicely, should there be a significant other that feels otherwise...

Chase, don't hold your breath waiting for me to sell this one, but there is another very similar in the classifieds.    :thumbsup:  

That's not the only stand in the yard.    :archer2:

There is a 2 piece whip on the missoula craigslist.  The guy is asking 700.  54# @ 30".  Just a heads up.  Congrats on the bow.  I love my 2 piece whip as well.
