Title: Toelke Pika Grip
Post by: shedhunta on April 22, 2015, 10:42:00 PM
Before I called Dan himself I was wondering if anyone knows  if the Pika will have a low wrist grip like the whip or something more like the chinook??

Have a buddy who has one coming and was just curious


Thx

It's such a new model I doubt more than a couple people have this knowledge first-hand.  Call Dan.  He is very easy going and a pleasure to talk to and very patient with any and all questions.  Secondly, if you order one custom, Dan will shape the grip any which way you like I'm sure.  Either way, a Toelke is always a good decision.

Dan can most likely provide whichever you want.  I asked him to make my Chinook with a thinner grip and he accommodated with no problem.  

Dan is Th' Man.

My guess it would have a grip more like the standard whip grip or classic whip grip.I am assuming the limbs are narrow like the Whip

The grip on the chinook is easier to make fuller/wider due to the wider limbs I believe.

I would talk to the bowyer expressing what you want in your grip and they will come as close as possible.

I handled a Pika at his shop and the limbs are very narrow

I have one of Dan's Pikas. The grip is very similar to my Whips and Chinook,perhaps slightly beefier. It's a fantastic bow,my favorite so far:) I haven't figured out how to post pics here with my phone but there are some on this site.

Go on Dan's site and e-mail him. He will get back to you very shortly I am sure.

This is killing me. I just got a chinook two weeks ago and this drops. Gah! I'll probably end up with one of these this fall now haha. It's beautiful
