azhunter hit the nail on the head! Iowned a couple of the SL Take-down recurves that preceded the Curlew, which I owned one of as well. When Dan brought out the Lynx Take-down Combo he sent me one that I shot for a couple of months at 3d. I have owned a number of Whips, standard and classic. I've ended shooting nothing but Super Ds which I have 3 of. None of these bows have ever required any "quieting down" and they have all been beautifully crafted, well-mannered bows. And Dan has no "waiting list", the longest from order to delivery I've had to suffer has been 29 days.
