One smooth petite Toelke Recurve
« on: September 08, 2020, 07:57:16 PM »
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!

Scale shows 28,29,30 inch draw #. From 29-30 is 2.5 lbs for this 60" recurve. And hats off to GN for the awesome lasered quiver!

I love my chinook as well and I've never shot a bow it's equal. Where in the world did you get that quiver?  Very nice looking bow! However I cannot tell what your limb veneer is but looks very similar to mine which has curly Maple and a black grip.

Beautiful bow! I emailed Dan about a 60" take down Chinook that he has listed on his page. If its still available, I may have to grab it.

Dave, the veneers are Myrtle. Not fancy but some nice color with vertical striping. Great Northern can burn a logo into a quiver hood, that's what that is with the Toelke logo

Todd, I had one of the first Chinooks Dan made, a 60" Cocobolo/Juniper bow that was a stunner in the looks department. If you get a chance chronograph yours, mine was very fast and did not bog down with heavy arrows even 12-13 to 1. And it was long bow quiet but then all of Dan's bows are quiet as I'm sure you know.

What a beauty!!!! How much extra for the logo?? I found a flaw with your bow btw...... seems to be right handed..

Dave, it's an extra $20. Jim, I'm shooting 11.3 gpp arrows and it zips very nicely and quiet like you said! Here's the veneers in a better pic. This is more fun to shoot than my longbows! Going to be using this, this deer season. The throat of the grip is about 4 3/8 . Slender!

I'm with you. That classic grip is amazing and it's actually more filling than you would suspect.

Fine looking stick.  I do like the smaller grip.  Graceful lines and nice wood.  Congratulations.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

Why did I look?!

Man, that is nice. I'm off to the website.
It doesn't seem possible for me with our low dollar, but that looks exactly like a bow I would like.
I like the smaller grip too.

TZ I was wondering when youd join the club. IMO the Chinook is the best all around bow that Toelke makes. I love my 2pc. My 3rd Chinook to date. These bows do nothing wrong and everything right. My 60" and my 64" Mountain Monarch have a good rivalry going. The MM and the Chinook are very similar shooters. Glad youre enjoying yours. They are so damn quiet for a recurve its crazy.

I wish I could shoot a Chinook. My 32" draw just won't allow it. So I'm left to "settle" for their SS recurve, which is all the things you just said about your Chinook, only longer. :biglaugh:
