Good afternoon, I'm considering getting a new longbow.

Narrowed it down to Brian Wessel's Stickflinger hybrid. I own his recurve and absolutely love it, fits me like a glove. Never had a chance to shoot the Stickflinger he makes.

Other option would be a Toelke Whip HS. I have had a chance to shoot these, and are the only longbow i've been able to shoot w/o getting string slap.

Cannot afford both unfortunately.

Looking at performance and quietness, or people who have shot/own both.

Also any animals taken with either I'd love to see them.

Thanks!

I have not had a chance to shoot the Toelke but do own a stickflinger and love it.

Don't think you can go wrong with either but the Stickflinger will be closer to your TT curve in weight with a low, more slender grip. Mine is very forgiving, very fast, and whisper quite.

good luck!

Own two whips right now.  Never owned a tall tines but love the look of them and eventually I might order one.  The whips are the quietest longbows I have ever shot.  I've owned several popular longbows and FOR ME the whips have been the quietest and plenty fast.

I literally just got off the phone with Dan Toelke, ordered a set of his longbow limbs for my Lynx.  Mine be worth looking at as well, more of an apples to apples comparison.

My Stickflinger arrived a few weeks ago.  I, too, had a recurve Brian made for me.  I like the Stickflinger even better.  I love it.  Best bow I have owned so far.  It is 62" 58#@28".  Its a lefty.  The riser is bocote and cocobolo, with bocote veneers on the limbs and moose antler tips.  I also had the grip checkered.  It is super quiet, dead in the hand and quick.

Hey Chad any pics by chance?

I just shot Biathlonman's Toelkes last week. If you didn't need anyone else telling you, they're machines. One of the smoothest draws Ive handled.

I just need to be able to buy both haha!

I'm heading to pick out my new pup here in a couple of weeks, going to stop by Toelke's shop on the way back and shoot a few different models.

Still have to get the money saved up, but seems easier to me when I have a goal in mind. Helps stay away from the new brewery across the street after work!

Anybody else shot both by chance?

Beautiful bow Jacob, it should serve you well!
