I am new to Trad Gang and thought I would write about my first longbow. I received my Toelke Super D last week and I am impressed. Its 66" long and 48lbs@28" draw. It has a kingwood riser with quilted maple limbs. My drawlength is 26". I have been shopping for a D shaped/ Hill style bow and the Supeer D did not disappoint. The Super D has slight back set limbs and a locater grip. This bow is light in the hand, smooth, quiet, fast and for me, easy to shoot. The Super D has less hand shock than my recurve. I probably shot over two hundred arrows form it yesterday. I have been shooting Beeman Centershot carbons and am eagerly awaiting wooden arrows form Elte Arrows. Dan was great to deal with and shipped this bow fast. I would highly recommend the Super D. I hope to get proficient enough to take a white tail later this fall.
Welcome Charles ! :wavey:
The Super D is an excellent choice !
Great bows .........enjoy your journey!!
sounds like a beauty! can you post pics??
I couldn't agree more about the Super Ds manners, it is all I shoot any more and I.M.O. a finer D shaped longbow can't be found. By the way, I've never shot anything through mine except wood, I believe you'll like them.
I have an affinity for the same bow. Probably on my fifth Super D right now, went down in poundage. The bows are perfectly balanced in the hand and very slim. All of their bows are phenomenal in my opinion. With a 26" draw, you should look into their new Pika. I checked one out at the Libby shoot. Very very nice bow!
