Toelke chinook

[Biathlonman]

I'm very excited to receive the chinook I won in the St. Judes auction and I'd like to hear others opinions of them.  I've seen some mention of a 60" model and also of bow bolt takedowns.  Anyone seen or have either/both if the above?  I'll probably break down and order a 60" set of limbs for my lynx, but wanted to see the Chinnok first.  Anyone have any good photos?

Thier a sweet 50s style bow thats pleasant shooting.One of the quietest recurves.I had two 60 inchers and liked them both.They will shoot well with both B-50 and high performance strings.

ALL of Dan's bows are top notch.

And all are as quiet a bow in their class that you can find .... and that to me is a BIG plus

I shoot longbows just about all the time but I have owned a Chinook. It was extremely fast with a dacron string, absolutely dead in the hand stable and very, very quiet. It was designed and built by Dan and Jared Toelke so craftsmanship was flawless. If I shot recurves it would be considered in a "if I could only have one bow" conversation. I believe I still have some photos I'll try to post later.

If I wasn't "married" to my Whip I would be at the very least "dating" the Chinook. They are a DANG FINE bow.

So we can confirm that there were/are 60" chinooks out there.  He doesn't list that or the bow bolt on the site.

Dan, is great to do business with give him a call he answered all my questions and alot more. Will let you know how the chinook shoots for me next week.

[Steelhead]

Yes I have had 2 60" chinooks.I have seen them with the bowbolt before in an all Phenolic riser on his website awhile back under stockbows.It sold

You've got the fever bad, good luck.

[Dan Adair]

Brad, you go through the bows, don't you?

If you're ever up this way and we have time to piss away, I'll introduce you to my buddy Al.  He's well over a dozen Toelkie's now.

[Biathlonman]

A chance to pick up a Toelke and help out the Kids, how's that bad?

I should be out that way around Sept.  Have a fully guided powderpuff hunt planted for bruins.  You know the type, easy walking, mint on your pillow, 5 star dining.  Should be tagged out by day two if the guide is worth his Scotch.  Should give me plenty of time to kill...I'll look you up!  

[Dan Adair]

Laffin....

At least you're bringing a bow from my neck of the woods.


Where I hunt, you might find 20 bucks under your pillow in the morning

The bows come and the bows go.  In the end I usually break even and I have a better formed opinion on things.  Once in a blue moon I even make a buck.  The market has been beat down so much recently i've taken it as a good opprotunity to try some bows I never thought I would own.  Hence that recent silvertip disaster!
