Got this Lynx from Dan Toelke to have some fun with and thought I'd share what I thought with you guys. First off when I received the bow it came in a carpet tube in a roll up bow case. It came with two endless loop strings with catwhiskers set-up and a bowstringer. The packing and extras are sweet. The bow is 64" and 50@28 for those who want to know the specs.
The riser is a Phenolic Linen with Cocobolo and Myrtle overlays. AA very slim and comfortable grip.
It has a thumbrest which you'll either love or hate most likely.
The limbs are 2 layers of clear glass over Myrtle veneers with 3 layers of bamboo in the core.
The tips are small buggers and are Cocobolo, Myrtle and black glass.
Here is the bow unstrung.
Strung it makes a nice D shape.
The bow costs $925 from Dan and recurve limbs are also available for this riser now. Extra limbs if ordered with the bow will run you $400($25 less if you get black instead of clear glass) if you order them later they run $450.
Recommended brace is 7 1/8 - 7 3/4, I set her up at 7 1/8 for today. I'll increase a little over the next few days to see if I like any other brace better.
At 7 1/8 the bow is the quickest Toelke I've shot ever. It has a mild thump sound at the shot but I believe I can get rid of that very easily with tweaking the brace. But after the first three arrows I shot I don't know if I really want to fuss with it too much.
I was very surprised with that group since I haven't shot in a few weeks. The fit and finish is immaculate on this bow. Dan is one of the finest bowyers out there and a great guy to boot. If the riser fits you this bow is a shooter and second to none in quality of build. I look forward to spending some more time with it this week.
