One smooth petite Toelke Recurve

Looks awesome!  The Chinook is exactly the bow I want to get next! 58 or 60”.  I recently got a big jim Thunderchild with a petite grip. I love it. I hardly ever see the chinook or Whistler for sale used though. I really seem to shoot those style bows best.

Just got mine this summer.  Didn't like the feel of the beaver tail so I took it off.   Works just fine now and smooth to shoot.

This could lead to stress on my checkbook! After a few Whips and my Pika, and some time with a Whistler, I may be developing a problem. Is the sight window on the Chinook a little bigger than the Whistler?

I've been into Longbows for a few years now but that is one sweeeeet looking Recurve. If I ever go that direction again this will be the bow I believe. Very elegant looking. Thank you for sharing.

Joe, as you know those Toelkes have that smooth long transition from the shelf to the limb so it's hard to guage. I've had a 58" Whistler and a 66" Whip and I've never noticed a handicap from one sight window to another while shooting. Here's a pic of the difference between the riser widths between the Chinook and the Whistler

Joe,
Here's a better pic. The Chinook does ramp up a hair sooner than the Whistler probably because the limbs are wider. Overall though, just a slim difference

Thanks Todd!

Love my Whistler, work of art. Smoothest bow I've ever pulled

Have you pulled back one of these Chinooks?
