Title: Dan Toelke, truehearted master bowyer of traditional bows
Post by: RonN on June 08, 2015, 07:27:00 PM
After 67 years of shooting second hand, third hand and fourth hand bows, Dan Toelke has set this circumstance right, and I now own a NEW Toelke Chinook........... Love it. My first new bow.
Plus, as an added bonus, from the day I ordered the bow to the day it was delivered was only 24 days............ How does he do it?
58" 50#@28", Cocobolo riser with Juniper limbs.

Beautiful bow! My very first custom bow was a 56" Chinook, if I had gone with the standard grip I would still own it they are great bows.

Outstanding!  That cocobolo is awesome.  Same combinations as one of my chinooks.  I'm trying hard to find a Lynx, talked to Dan about one on the phone the other day.

Dan is the man.  The Toelke Chinook is one of the finest shooting recurves there is.  Truly longbow quiet while still being very quick.

Good look'in stick for sure.  I've got a new Pika coming also.  My best recurve ever is a 56" Chinook from Dan.  They are so quiet and hit exactly where you look.

Dan is a first class act!!  Twice have I asked him to help out with the TG St. Jude's Auction, and both times he stepped up to the plate    :thumbsup:   !!

Doug can attest to Dan's commitment to traditional archery.

I've only owned two of his bows - a static tip and a super sweet Whip T/D that I regret selling to this day (the TG member in Aussie Land loves it)!

Thank you, Dan!
