Title: Toelke Chinook
Post by: rjackson on June 29, 2017, 09:10:00 PM
I talked with Dan yesterday and ordered a Chinook. I have a 271/2 inch draw and Dan recommended a 58 inch. So you guys that have shot them how you like them? Post pics if you have any to share and I'll post pics as soon as she gets to her new home.

Thanks
Randy

The Chinook is my all time favorite...not just curves, but longbows too...!! Fast, quiet and very forgiving..!!

I can't help but gush that they are truly awesome.  One of the best recurves around.  Super quiet, quick, and dead in the hand for that style of bow. Very easy to shoot well.  Toelke bows are top of the heap.  You will be pleased.  I can tell having owned a number of the top of the tops that Dan has something special in this model.  I style myself a longbowman so I have a Pika currently, but all around-wise the Chinook is his best model IMHO.

Agreed 100 percent whats above.  My favorite bow, even after I've tried most of them.

You can't get a better bow than a Toelke. They are true craftsmen!  I have two Whips and can't ever see myself adding another bow to the line up that is not a Toelke.  May it bring you many years of enjoyment!!

You are gonna love it. One of the top bows of all time. I've had two but had to get rid of them as both were too heavy. I will have another one someday.

Congrats. I got a 54" Pika last week. It is a top notch bow. Smooth draw, quiet, zero hand shock, and fast. His craftsmanship is impeccable and he is a great person to do business with. Dan delivers quality in a short time frame.

I'm a big fan of Dan's bows. Love my Pika and a t/d Chinook is my next bow!

I bought a one piece whip off of Dan last month, like it so much I just ordered a 2 piece, can't believe how good his bow shoots.

I have a 62" whip now and a Chinook will be my next purchase. You can't get any better quality IMHO

Congrats on the new toelke. Awesome bows!!! I have a 3 piece curlew from him and it's a shooter. So good that two of my buddies shot mine and the next month bought toelkes.

I see him at the libby Montana trad shoot every year and he is a super dude.

I had one. I really liked that bow. I sold it like a dummy. Wish I had it back.
