Toelke Lynx ----> on the way! NOW W/PICS

[TxAg]

I bugged several people via phone and PM about the Toelke Lynx. Everyone was very helpful and gave the bow outstanding reviews. So...I just couldn't help myself. I sold one of my Whips and ordered a Lynx.

I spoke with Dan last week and he asked me to hold off on ordering because he had some new wood coming in this week. I'd told him I wanted a dark bow, and his wheels started turning. He sent me an email Tuesday with pics of the wood and then followed up with a phone call. I felt very good about placing my order so I did.

He then sent me a quick message on Wednesday that the limb veneers came out very dark and highly figured (zebrawood).

Today, he calls and tells me this is some of the best zebra he's seen and thinks I'm going to be really impressed. PLUS, the bow will ship out a week from today (Thursday). Man, you just can't beat this service.

So...the complete order looks like this:
Toelke Lynx with 60" recurve limbs scaled to 47@29. Limb veneers are zebrawood and riser is black micarta and bocote. He's even serving the string to fit my current arrow nocks.

I'll definitely be posting pics when she arrives.

I love mine too as you know.  I talked to Dan yesterday and told him to be waiting for a call from a Texan who is hot to go for a Lynx...looks like I was right.  LOL.  Make sure you post some pictures.

Forgot to mention.....Dan said he's got enough of this zebrawood for about 10 more bows. Just in case somebody is interested.

Congrats, Jeff.  I know this will be a looker and shooter.  I'm with you...You cannot beat Dan's service.  I ordered a new Whip last fall and had it within 10 days.  Please post pics when it arrives.

Congrats!
You'll love it. I'm one of the people that you pm'ed regarding my impression of the Toelke Lynx and as you know, I love it. Mine's the 58" and is extremely smooth and quiet. I can only imagine the 60" is smoother yet.
Oh boy, I may have to make the hour drive to Dan's shop and shoot a 60"!

You should go quick and shoot mine then report back to me  

And I definitely appreciated your feedback!

Best of luck Jeff.  You made a great choice and the 60" limbs are getting some buttery reviews.

Bow I have the most regret of ever posting in Classifieds.  By far...    :(  
Take care of her Travis!  I want first right of refusal!

I got the Lynx with both the recurve and longbow limbs, it is a very easy shooting bow. I just put on the longbow limbs a few weeks ago for the summer 3D shoots and getting ready for the fall hunting season. Whoops I was using my cordless skill saw and accidently set it down (unbeknownst to me) on one of the limbs while the blade was still spinning and cut it bad. I didn't know it untill a few days later,, I sent it in to Dan and he said it was toast, so that was a 400 dollar mistake...oh well live and learn

[hybridbow hunter]

a nice one to help you in the wait    

[Biathlonman]

What brace height is everyone running, or what is recommended?

[TxAg]

He told me low 7s

[Elkchaser]

I run right at 7 1/8" with my 58" recurve limbs.

Hybridbow Hunter,

Dan was telling me about that bow. That looks really nice!

[hybridbow hunter]

Yes it is really: that western juniper is simply spectacular and Dan's work is really flawless: choice in the veneers and wood, perfect gluing, glass absolutely perfectly clear, wood sanding with a lot of care in details, limb fitting,etc...Everything looks made for a long life.
For me THIS is what makes now the real performance over fps...
Even the strings you get along with the bow (endless) are perfectly made !!  
More, I draw 31,5"  and bow is smooth all the way and level of performance is good for a classic bow without any "new millennium materials" (foam, multidirectional carbon and all he stuff..)
Outstanding work is my conclusion.
