Tell me about your Toelke Super "D" (PICS ON PAGE 3)
« on: June 12, 2013, 08:41:00 PM »
I've read plenty of reviews using the search function, but I'm sure I missed a few.

So....tell me about your Toelke Super D. I've shot a lot of Dan's bows but never the D. In fact, I've never shot a D bow. I've got the bug, though.

How about some pointers, comments, and pictures? Everything is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am a one bow man since shooting one.  The first time I shot one I broke two of the three arrows Jim Wright had left for me to shoot during my lunch break. All 18-20 yard shots.

If you like small grips, you can not find a more perfect marriage between beauty and function in a D shaped bow.  Of course, this is just my extremely biased opinion.       :thumbsup:

Great bows.
x2 on the grip.
Significant improvement with SBD string...quicker and quieter and shock reduction which was "hardly any" to begin with.

I have been thinking of trying a SBD string, but have no real complaints with the one Dan furnishes the bow with.  What strand number do you use?
62" Super D, 47#s @ 25-1/2"

Bought a beautiful Super D off TG Classifieds last month.  My first experience with a D-shaped bow as well.

Love it!!  Smooth, QUIET and shoots like crazy!  The previous owner sent a spare ****** string with it, and man, does it make a difference in even less noise and apparent speed.

55# @, 66" with Texas Ebony in the riser.  That reminds me, I need to get some pics up!!    :thumbsup:    :biglaugh:

Here are some pictures of my Super D. This is the first Toelke bow that I've owned and I can assure you, it won't be the last. It has good cast, a very mild thump in the handle and is the sweetest, smoothest shooting bow. Very accurate and forgiving!

I had one for a while, smooth and silent, just a fine example of Dan's work!!    :thumbsup:

anything the Toelke's make is top notch in every way, the Super D is no exception.  Ive shot 6 or so of them, they were all the same, well mannered, easy to shoot etc.  There are also some subtle things in the grip you cant really see in a photo, but it really feels good in the hand.

Jeff - I had a feeling that you didn't get off the phone with Dan without placing an order.     :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

I love my super D and concur with all that has been said about it in previous posts. Hands down the quietest bow I've ever shot. On top of that, Dan is such a class act to deal with. He has always answered my plethora of questions with un-rushed grace and patient understanding.
Having done so much, with so little, for so long, I can now do anything with nothing.

That looks like a classic whip.
