I was at Dan's this past Fall and had the opportunity to shoot a couple of his 52" recurves including the Osage/Bocote bow that is on his website. In short the little bows are pure Toelke, beautiful woods painstakingly crafted, smooth at my 29" draw, very fast even with a B50 string and more importantly to me very quiet. My other experience with 52" bows has been a few older name brand factory bows, none of which impressed me. Luckily, I do not need a 52" recurve but I still find myself still fighting the urge to have Dan make me one of his.
