I'm not a "short bow" guy, I believe hybrid type longbows should be at least 60" leaning towards longer always before shorter.  My buddy recently picked up a 56" Toelke Pika, Dan and Jarrod's most recent design.   I'll admit I even tried to talk my buddy out of ordering the bow, telling him it's too short and will be critical.  Today I had the opportunity to shoot the bow.  Holy Cow!!!  What a fantastic little bow!  I found the bow to be very quick, quiet and forgiving.  My buddies bow is a TD model so I really appreciated the heavy mass weight the bolt system provided.  If anyone has been thinking about this bow, have at it!!!  I think you will be impressed.      

Great job Dan and Jarrod!

Yeah, I want one  

Thanks for the info on this new bow, Tim. Much appreciated!

You're not helping Tim!  I really want to get my hands on one, but I'm close to a 30" draw and I'm a little nervous about the little thing.

Tim, you forgot to mention you calling out a 40 yd head shot on the turkey target and nailing it!!!!!  Glad you like the bow.  I surely know the owner does and he shoots it damn well from what I saw.

So, when will yours be here Tim??              


Just kiddin' of course. Sounds like a sweet bow!

I want to shoot the bow some more, run it through my chrono just for fun and see what arrows would work for it.   I was shooting 35/55 gold tips and the flight looked pretty darn good.  I draw 28" and it felt every bit as smooth as my 60" Lynx.   What's funny is I don't remember feeling any flex in the riser.  Usually you feel something.   This bow had the micarta riser giving it both strength and some heft in hand.  Just a pleasure to shoot and carry.  A very cool little bow.

I'm just glad the two piece on his in stock page isn't a couple pounds lighter, I'd have a real hard time resisting.

Tim, you should probably buy a lefty to keep at the shop. I think Timmy likes around 53@29
