Hey Gang,
I've spoken with Dan about making a form for a 68" Super D and maybe if he had enough potential customers he would consider it. So! Besides myself, how many of us would like to see that happen? As far as D bows go, Dan and Jared do it with impeccable skill and talent. The svelteness of the riser combined with the deep narrow core of the limbs make the Super D stand out as the well balanced, hard hitting, and quiet hunting tool it is. Anyone with me on this?

Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

No experience yet with a D but want to fish in that pond. Just based on my SS and Whip, a 68" super D would be my first choice.

Add me to the list - though I'd really like 70" as my draw is really long - about 32".

Good luck Todd, It's just a matter of finding enough guys with a REALLY long draw interested. I draw 29" and shoot a couple of 64" Super Ds. I can't draw them back enough to find any stacking.

That's plenty to make a 68-70" bow, why would he need a new form?

I draw 29" and wouldn't shoot less than a 68". My NM Classics are all 68-70" and I prefer 70", just so much nicer shooting. Those straight limb bows need length to be stable. Just cuz it don't stack don't mean its long enough.

tzolk

These aren't completely straight limbs, there is some set back toward the ends that smooth up the draw and shot. His current form I believe isn't long enough to get good clamping on the ends. He makes them in 62-66" lengths.

Eric, there is much to be said for the design of the bow. At 29" my 64" Super Ds don't just draw smoothly, they are quiet as a mouse and "hand shock" is not a thump at all but more of a pulse. I have shot some longer D bows that that in addition to being noticeably slower would shake fillings loose!

tzolk

The bow is definitely in a class of its own. I draw 30" and the 66" works but having a couple extra inches of length would be there icing on the cake in my opinion.

Good luck again Todd although I readily admit I don't need any more temptation when it comes to Super Ds.

Over the years of trying different lengths and styles of Toelke longbows, I have settled on 64" as my optimum length at my draw of 29.5". Having said that, I went with the 66" Super D. Didn't shoot a 64", which I am sure would have been fine, but bonded with the 66". On the ASL's I've tried, getting the last little bit of draw became frustrating. To complicate things, I had to mentally recalibrate every time I wanted to shoot my D-R bows. Just couldn't go back and forth.
Not so with the Super D. Just seems smoother to get the last bit of draw and can easily interchange with my other bows.

Going with the 66", I felt gave me a better chance to regain some of the draw normally lost  (1/2") shooting this style of bow. Not sure a 68" would be any added benefit.  

Take what I think with a grain of salt, the wife does.  Mike

Yea Jim, I've shot some poorly made straight limb bows too...and they went back out the door they came in.

I've been hesitant about getting a Super D but, if a 68" version becomes available I will be the first in line.

I would definitely be interested in a 68" model super D

Just got a classic whip and tried to get a 66 or 68 inch bow. Dan talked me into the 64, telling me it "felt" like most longer bows. He was right! No more finger pinch than my 68 inch recurve.

62" Super D, 47#s @ 25-1/2"
58" TS Mag, 53#s @ 26"
56" Bighorn, 46#s @ 26.5"

Badabing

That's the reason I don't buy a super D.I like 68" in a longbow.

tzolk

Just got word that a 68" version is in the works fellas. They are working on a form for it right now. Great news!!!
