Thanks Guss!
I will try to give a full report once I get home and am able to spend some quality time with it.
I will say that the first several shots through it in front of Dan's shop were flying extremely true, extremely quiet and very quick. I think I'm going to love it.

Got mine today. Spent a little time with it. Seems to like a high brace. Need more time but am impressed so far. Like yours Ron, that bacote pops.

Congrats on the new bows guys.

Man that black glass and bocote is sweet!!

David, my 56" likes ~8"...

Yea, that's what figured out with the little I played with it. It really likes a 30.25" black AD Trad Lite standard insert, wrap, 3 5"feathers with 200 out front. Finished out a little lighter than I wanted, 475 grs. about 9.5 GPP. Looks quick to my eye, and quiet.

Glad you got it and like it Daveycrockett!
Dan told me the 56" Pika should be about 7 3/4" brace and the 54" right around 7 1/4".

Thanks Warden609, I'm really happy with the way it turned out.
That bow daveycrocket picked up is also a work of shooting art!!

When I was at Toelke's shop yesterday, there were a number of absolutely gorgeous bows of every size and model at some stage of being built and finished. I didn't see a homely one in the bunch!!

Ron, not exactly what I need to here...!!!

Congratulations, please let us know what you think of it.

I had looked at the bow more that a couple times. If it was just a little heavier, it probable would have been headed in my direction.

I think it's Great! Rain stopped, got to play with it most of the day. I've tried almost every short LB out there, This one has NO Comparison for Me. Don't know what Dan's secret is but it shoots like a long LB.

Yep, just like You said! But how??? :confused:
Not complaining, just wondering out loud.

That's what I said?! Feels just like a 64" whip.
