Toelke Super D Questions

What length bow for 30" draw? Can't find any reference on the Tolke site.

My DL is only 26.5 so the 62" Super D is no problem. For 30" - I'd bet Dan would recommend a 66" Super D. But if I were you, I'd email him or call him.

Dave, mine is 66" let me know if you want to test run it. I won't be shooting it for a while, bad elbow. It is 42# at 30"

Thanks Ed, but that one is light for me. I have heck with light draw bows. I bought a Hill, tried to shoot it bent arm shortened up draw, UGLY!!! Tried today shooting the bow at my natural long draw , still UGLY! The Hill is for sale.

I draw 30" and a 66" Super D is what I shoot. It's right in the sweet spot. You wouldn't want to go the 64".

If you can deal with the smallish grip you will love it Ed........they are great shooters.

Found the pic Ed! Here's the Super D I had next to a Whip I also had at the time. This pic illustrates the riser difference well.

I love my super D. I guess I have just been too busy hunting with other bows to give it the attention that it deserves. Quiet is an understatement. The newer whips are a decent amount faster, but compared to a HH style longbow, this has quite a bit more pep with normal arrow weights. I think that you will really like it. I may start hunting with that bow during the winter, when it is so quiet in the woods and the deer are a little spooky. Barely a whisper from the bow.

Not as fancy as some, but here is my Toelke super d with juniper veneers.

Just heard back from Dan, on a Sun. nite no less! 66" Super D 62 or 64" Whip for my long draw.

The 64" HS Whip for your 30" draw would be fantastic. In the speed, quietness and quality of build catagory, probably no better RD bow out there then the HS Whip.

Customer service at its best!!

I've got 2 66 inchers, one in the low 40s, one in the high 40s at my 30" draw. They are my "go to" bows for stalking. I've killed several deer and hogs with them and have found one problem with them. I pick a low spot anticipating deer to drop a little at the sound of the bow. The Super D's are so quiet, several of the deer had no reaction at all until the arrow hit them, causing low hits. Although I am joking about this being a problem, it did happen.

Big Ed · January 26, 2015, 01:13:00 PM

Thank you, can't wait!!

My 62" D has no issues with my 29" draw even though I should use a longer bow according to most. You shorter draw guys really don't need longer unless you simply prefer longer.
You 30" draw guys need 64" or more IMO.
I put an SBD string on it and made a great bow fantastic...noticeably quicker and quieter.

ttt

tzolk · January 28, 2015, 07:26:00 PM

Here is a 66" Super D drawn to 30". A 64" would put your string angle more acute, more on the stack side I think.

I pull 26" and have a 62" with the riser "tweaked" for my short draw. I love my bow.

I once shot a coyote with it at 22 yards and he moved ONLY when he heard the BH hit a stalk of corn behind him. Never knew it was coming.

Such a pleasure to carry
