Title: New Bow Day!
Post by: Curtis Haden on March 31, 2018, 07:09:23 PM
Got my new Toelke Pika in this morning. Packed in a nice 2-piece, lined leather case. Initial impression was that it was very nicely done. I chose Pao Ferro for the riser wood and Myrtle for the limb veneers. Got a chance to shoot this afternoon, and it met all of my expectations. Seemed quiet and quick. Very smooth drawing bow with no perceptible hand shock at all! At 56" it did seem a little persnickety if I flubbed the release any, but that's to be expected with a short design. Overall, I'm very happy with it!

Great little bows. I found I shot mine better with a quiver on it. Steadied up the light little bow a bit. I was surprised that I think they are smoother than the whip.

Very nice looking bow !   I have one on the rack too !  I got mine a few months ago.  I don't know what it is about the Pika, but they really seem to shoot nice and quiet, smooth. You get the right arrow, and it doesn't take much for tuning.  Dan and Jared do great work. 

WOW  September is a long time to wait for one of Dan's bows ?
