Title: The Chinook is out of the tube.
Post by: BAK on June 13, 2020, 01:13:23 PM
Just received a new Chinook from Dan, 58", 47#.  I pulled it out of the tube this morning, strung it up, and shot this 10 yard group in the shop.  Guess I won't have to spend all day tuning.   :clapper:

The Chinook  is an awesome design. Very quiet and accurate as sin.

That's a super group but (no offense intended) I'd rather see the BOW! Pics??

The bow is not a "looker".  I ordered a hunting bow, not a drooling bow this time.  Black micarta riser, black glass, flat finish.   I told Dan I was interested in performance, not appearance.

Agreed!
Not necessarily about pretty wood.  I like to see the lines of a bow.

Yeah, doesn't look like you'll be spending time tuning but making new arrows after busting them up in tight groups.

Toelke Montana Bows are definitely most-excellent!

:campfire:

Shoot straight, Shinken

Super jealous! My draw is just a little too long for them, at least it was on the one I tried!

Great group but you need to move the sight 2 clicks to the right.   :laughing:  :laughing:

Awesome bows and great shooters.  I have a 56"er and 45# @ 28" which is my go-to hunting bow.  Love it.

When my "dream center" is functioning at full capacity, I can shoot groups like that. That is great performance! That bow should provide you with some serious hunting stories.

That was pretty quick! Glad you got it and I knew it would be awesome!!  Short wait time and supreme bows. Great groups!!

I always wondered what a plain ol' all glass Toelke looked like! Still got those drool inducing lines!

My Toelke's have always tuned right at, or very close to, where he suggests. Every one has been a fine shooter. Currently loving my Pika.

While I like the beauty of Dan's work with wood, I've gotta say that stealth look is awfully sexy! (Can I say that here?)

Beauty in its own right. Love that flag too.
