My New Toelke Super D!

[Mud_Slide_Slim]

Well...I have had it for about a month now and I am absolutely love this bow!  It took me a while to get the images on the computer and hopefully the show in this post.  It's a beauty...walnut cores, pao ferro limb veneers, beaver tail grip (which will be on every bow I get from here on in.  Originally I asked Dan to do an ebony riser. When I saw his stabilized maple risers on his website I emailed him and asked to change if he hadn't already started it.  It turned out real well.  

I wanted something subtle that would blend in the woods...no harsh contrasts with light and dark wood.  He nailed it. Also, it shoots very well.  Typical of a Toelke bow...quiet, stable, and quite fast actually.  

I am shooting full length GT7595 black arrows, 100 gn inserts with 175 heads and 2x5" fletching.  This bow throws them with authority.  I haven't taken anything with it, but just walking through the woods with it in hand makes me very happy.  Just wanted to share...(hopefully the pics will post)

I have had Dan make me a number of bows, both Whips and recurves. I have ended up shooting a couple of Super Ds almost exclusively. I will admit that the H.S. Whips Dan makes are the finest shooting bows I have ever shot and I still have a 64" Classic. With that said, the bow that I enjoy shooting the most is still the Super D, there is something almost magical about them and I agree with you on the bow's manners, exceptional speed and they are indeed QUIET.

Nice bow. Don't set it down in the woods, Ya might not find it....

2x5" fletching, you use two fletching's....?

Another outstanding Toelke!  LOVE that riser.

Why did I look my eyes are burning . Man that's nice.

[awbowman]

For me, I'll never own a bow I love more than my Super D and that's one beautiful bow.  The start of a great relationship

Thanks for the kind words everyone.  I am still getting used to shooting a D-shaped bow, but it is coming along.  I have changed quite a bit of my shooting style so I am not only getting used to the bow, but everything else as well.  

Mike G...your comment about laying it on the ground rings true.  I was out one morning and laid it on the ground, turned around and it actually took a couple seconds to locate it.  It blends real well in the dead leaves.  And yes...I shoot only a 2x5" fletching...more than one way to skin a cat I guess.  It works so I kinda just stuck with it.  I did however, bare shaft tune my arrows.

awbowman...I am already putting a wood combination together for my next one!  It's a sickness I tell ya.

Mines Cocobolo riser and XX yew limbs, bamboo and yew cores.

I hear Dan has some crazy myrtle.

God willing, I'll one day have  a TD Super D with a heavy arrow and climb the mountains one more time for Mr.  Wapiti.  Until then I haunt the palmetto jungles after Mr.  Whitetail

Great lookin bow...congrats!

[tzolk]

Incredible!
I echo Jims sentiments, Dans HS whips are perfect in every way but I spend more time with the Super D in hand. It IS something special.

[Azwatasha]

That is pretty!

I'm really liking that bow. That wood looks so nice, and the beaver grip seems like a perfect compliment to me. Very nice!

[Mud_Slide_Slim]

Thanks everyone.  I tell ya, I have been tweeking some adjustments on my shooting and things are coming along nicely.  I think the Super D and I are gonna get along quite nicely.  Did some shooting this morning and it was one of those times when everything just fell into place...decided to quit while I was ahead.

awbowman...we think alike! I was thinking yew cores and xx yew veneers or juniper.  Haven't quite decided on a riser and I am a ways from ordering...probably summer.

tzolk...I was hoping you'd chime in.  I have read some of your reviews on Dan's site which have been helpful in my decision on which bow to go with.  I know you have a longer draw as well.  Just curious...where is your brace height running on your Super D?  I have settled right at 7 inches for now and seems to work well.  I may toy with going a little lower; just to see.

Will Dan make a td.  Super d ?

[ron w]

That's a nice one......I had one and should have never sold it!

[Fletcher]

Thanks for the "report".  I just traded into a Super D and really look forward to shooting it.  I'll probably start shooting it in leagues after this deer season winds down.
