I just put a Dan Toelke Super D in my hand and slung a couple of arrows.  64", 49#s at 28". I shoot 26.5" so I figure it's about 45#s. This is going to cost me, but man is it going to be worth it!!!  

Dan makes a wonderful bow. Worth every penny.

I'll post pics when I can.

I have a Whip HS and just received a Lynx this past week. Both of these bows are very quiet and no hand shock.  Also, both shoot where I am looking...sometimes I am not looking at the target though. LOL

OMGosh!!!!!

I just went to an indoor range.  This bow is quite possibly the best bow I have ever shot.  I couldn't shoot at the same target for fear of breaking the wood arrows I had on loan!! NO percieved handshock either and SUPER SILLY QUIET!!!!!!!

I am shooting about 45#s at my draw length of 26.5".  I don't care much about speed, but I had to run it through the chrono to see what it was doing once I shot it.  The suspense got to me! lol

148.5 fps with a 497 grain arrow

158.5 fps with a 457 grain arrow

I may be wrong, but I have never seen this kind of speed with a straight limbed longbow.

Anyway, now my only question is whether to buy it or give in and order my "perfect" bow!  

Dan is da man!            

That thing has February Gawgia PIG KILLA written all over it!  Although I must admit I wish it was at least 51#s at my draw.

Sitka Spruce arrows and treesharks seems about right!  It looks like it will like fairly heavy arrows too!

They are awesome bows. I love mine and get a bit more out of it due to 29+ draw length. Best d shaped bow I have shot.

Post pictures!!!! Lol

Well I don't have another 45# bow for reference, but it seemed pretty fast to me.  Maybe just more than I was expecting.

This is the first "hill style" straight limb bow I have ever shot more than 5 times.  I have never worn an arm gaurd but the string slaps my arm.  Is this normal for a D bow or do I need to change my form?

All about your grip. The bow will teach you, but lots of info here on the subject. I shoot mine with no armguard or slap. Good luck.

Thanks pdk. The grip IS different from my recurve or hybrid.

Look forward to learning

pony up and buy the thing Fred! LOL Ya'll shooting tonight?

I can't see how I can get around it Kook.  I can't shoot two arrows at the same target with this thing.  I nearly broke some borrowed wooden arrows at noon never having shot it before.

They are shooting tonight.  Not sure if I will make it, may have to go to a meeting.  Come and let me know what you think of the bow.

Dang I wish this thing was a few pounds heavier.

Dans lead time to finish a bow order is usually less than a month, if you want heavier you wouldn't have to wait too long.

Like to see some pics if you got em. The super D has always been on my list of bows to try!

Thanks pdk. The grip IS different from my recurve or hybrid.

Look forward to learning

Just broke the first arrow shooting at the same target. Going to have to shoot this bow differently

I am so sorry Fred!

You have been bitten by the "Hill style" bug and there isn't a cure...lol

Have fun and learn to use the 5 dot targets...lol

God bless,Mudd

Fred-

We need some pics,

Congrats,

Darren
