yep, these threads get some bows sold alright! picked up a nice 2pc. 58" 51@ 28 last night.

I think they are my favorite recurve of this style.  Fast, no I don't have a chronograph, basing it off having to add weight to the arrow so I didn't shoot over everything.  Very stable and forgiving, especially in a recurve.  And quiet, just dang near longbow quiet.  As to the grip style, I have always ordered my Toelke's with the classic grip but picked up the Chinook used and it had the thumb rest.  I actually liked it, not overbearing, just the right amount of a bump to position your hand in a very repeatable manner.  All in all, an extremely fine example of a recurve that pulls together all of the elements that are needed to deliver an arrow to the target.

Thanks for the info and pics. Very much appreciated.

Here is one of the reasons I love Toelke's.

I got mine yesterday and i am very impressed. Like everyone says quiet, smooth, fast. Very easy on your eyes![attachment=1]

I've had a few bows in my time. Hence my username. The Chinook is either at the top or very near it. I will have another one someday. Only reason I sold the last one was it was too heavy.
