It opened no problem. Nice bow.
That place looks a lot like my buddy's place in Ohio.

Well, I  don't know what happened,  but it posted. :dunno:
Anyway, that's my new home. I mean shop. :cheesy:
Most of my tools are in there, but they're just in a heap right now. The building isn't insulated and the electrical needs to be redone. The former owner cheaped out and I have to run a new heavy duty cable out from the house,  then run all new 220 volt outlets and one 220v, 30 Amp outlet for my wood lathe. My buddy is  coming up next month and I'm hoping that the conduit is big enough,  or we'll have to cut a new trench for the bigger wire.

I'll post something when I'm able. Right now the pictures are not loading for some reason.
I found the old system we had for uploading pictures was easier for me. I used to click on a photo, resize it, and it would load easily. For some reason,  I  can't resize them anymore and they take forever to upload, if at all.

This is a Sasquatch SS with a 21" riser and 100# limbs. Martin sent this to me from Germany this morning. He has shot thousands of arrows through this bow now, and they are holding up fine.

PowWow / Re: Micarta vs wood- Handshock...

My experience with Toelke Whip has been all wood until recently.  I got a new (to me) Whip with the bow bolt, thus built with micarta.  At first I noticed the weight difference.  Not much, but noticeable.  Also the grip felt a bit fuller in the hand as if the extra volume was needed to "hide" the bolt system.  Neither was objectionable.  But one of the things I love about my other Whips was the light and slender feel of the grip.  I then got a Toelke 64SS with bow bolt.  Maybe the added mass is more beneficial in recurve design, but the bow was as smooth shooting as my much heavier Blacktail Elite 3 piece.  I prefer wood for the aesthetics, but the micarta does add mass and rigidity.  I guess it is needed for the bolt system. Have not tried a bow with the micarta and no bolt.

The sling pack I carry is from a military surplus store.  Nothing fancy but it is green, multiple pockets. Not as quiet as wool but fairly water repellent. I should note that the terrain here is very heavily wooded, steep. I'm in the coastal range mountains of north coastal Oregon.

Maybe it's timing, but the turkey calls have been our quickest selling new product. We are getting lots of favorable comments.

With all of our products, we do our best to ship same or next day.

For those who have shot both, what are the differences between the two and which do ya prefer?  I have a stickflinger and Tundra limbs from his original, and am thinking of ordering his new model.
