Northern mist or toelke super D

[danshao]

Had the toelke whip for about a year and now the NM superior for almost a year. Both bows are smooth, quiet and accurate. Can't make a wrong decision either way. Probably boils down to which finish and look you like better. I'd be happy to pick up either and shoot.

The toelke may just fare a little better in the second hand market. You can also get it much faster.

The NM is highly customized to the shooter and you even get the name written on your bow made specifically for you by default.

For me I wanted to have the green glass so I went for the NM.

This is a great thread.
I want my next bow to be a Tolke and never considered a D until Todd's pics. I like the brown bow grip and really like the beavertail leather.

I saw a comment by Dan once where he was asked for a comparison and said the D was like a Cadillac and the Whip was a Corvette. The build time is a major draw on the Tolke.

Well I'm still on the fence, trying to find as much info as I can on asl hill style longbows with sculpted locator grips... There's so much out there, it's really hard to narrow it down to just one. The edge goes to the toelkes lead time for now but I'm not in a rush... The joys of new bow research

IMO having owned or currently owning and spending a lot of time with NM Superior, 7 Lakes Long Night, and Toelke Super D I don't really think your comparing apples to apples with those three.  While the Super D does have a hint of R/D, it doesn't have nearly as much as the other two. To me the Super D is kind of a unique class of bow. All are great bows but at the end of the day for me the Toelke D just wants to shoot where I point it, only bow I own any more even though both of the others mentioned might do some things a little better.

Austin, in terms of noise on the shot, how would you rate them?

Properly tuned I don't think you could tell a difference in any of the three in that department, they are about as quiet as they come.
