Ron, I own a number of Dan's bows and between the Whip and Super D, I would be hard-pressed to name a favorite. To me there is a certain magic about the way the Hill style bows shoot and in my opinion the Super D is the best "mannered" Hill style I've shot. They are very fast, ridiculously quiet and hand shock is more like a pulse than a thump with arrows from 10 to 1 to 12.5 to 1 through mine. What are the specs and the woods on the bow you are getting? You should post some pics.

Jim, it's on the classifieds right now........... 40# @ 28"-66" I made the deal on Friday and I am looking forward to getting my hands on it. I have had a Hill, a Jerry Hill ,and still have a Northern Mist. I just like the "D" shaped bows, something Classic about them. They shoot good to!

They are really nice bows,  typical Dan Toelke craftsmanship.  I have shot about 6 different ones, from the earliest model to the latest and they were all fine "D" bows.

Well the Super D was in the mail today, what a nice bow!!66" 40# @ 28" and it is as smooth as butter. It's also pretty easy on the eyes.I shot some cedars out of her and at 525 gr. they flew like darts. I draw 29" so I'm guessing that's 43# or so. Great craftsmanship and finish.....I like it already!! Nice doing a trade with you Swampdrummer, Thanks, ron w
