Hats off to Dan and Jared, it's a real team effort over there. Some of you are already fans of this model. Over the past few or several years, one or the other, I frequently asked Dan if he would ever make a 60" Chinook. It wasn't too long ago him and Jared pulled the first ones off the presses, oh maybe 2016-ish I'm thinking. Anyways, I tried one out but never pulled the trigger. Frankly I was nervous stringing up the one he sent me to try out. Those limbs have a nice old-school hook to them when not strung and you just can't, or at least I couldn't, do the push pull method of stinging like you do with longbows. So recently this was added to the family and I can't believe I waited this long. I've included pics of the scale when the bow was drawn from 28-30. The bow is 51@30 and even a bit beyond that, I really do not feel it hitting a stack point. The riser is somewhat petite compared to the Whip and even the Whistler of the same length. This gives one the option of getting a nice small grip if you fancy that. They did get some really good looking Montana beaver tail on brown that gives any bow a classic look and I swear, even with an arrow side plate on the riser, the string seems to line up center on the limbs and the arrow. Here I thought my 60" Whistler was the smoothest bow in the family but now that is blown out of the water. If anyone is on the fence about one of these classic recurves, you really need to try one. Soooooo sexy looking at those curves!
