I wish I could shoot a Hill bow cause they are just so darn good looking. Gotta love anything Toelke

DANG!

That THANG is flat-out gorgeous.

               

Dan has a way with wood....

Enjoy!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Let's see some pics of the veneers. I bet they're beautiful

I used to own a Super D and I can tell you that bow shoots! Great design and excellent craftsmanship! Mine shot true and while looking at yours, I wonder why I sold mine. Great bow! Congrats!

Bill,
My current Super D and most likely my last, because the # is absolutely perfect, is 50@28 66" and I do draw 30 and maybe a hair over at times so around 56@30. I am currently running my brace at 6 3/4. Nock at 5/8 and am shooting 3 under. I find the GT Trad 5575 31" with 175gr up front to spine perfect. Our Ds are pretty much the same specs. ***Using an SBD 8 strand string***
I had it set at 7 then 7 1/4 but find 6 3/4 to be perfect. It seems quieter at the lower brace and faster then when at 7 1/4. I'll try to post a pic. I love the looks of yours! My favorite
Toelke for sure and that's really hard to say if you've shot Dans bows.

Edit: Here it is. It was an inventory bow. Kingwood riser, Myrtle (tight fiddle) veneers.
     
     

Group of arrows at 20 yards after 6 3/4 Brace change along with switch to GT Trads 5575 31" 175gr points

I decided to try 6 3/4 brace because a few other D bow makers say their bows brace should be at 6 3/4. So I thought well, this is a D bow so I might as well try it. It works for me, quiet quick bow- perfect arrow flight, whats not to love!

Originally I was shooting 31" GT 7595 blacks with 200 grain points and thought the flight was good until I shot it against a snowy background and could tell it was a bit overspined, which I suspected anyways. 7 1/4 brace.

Switched to the 5575 trads and all is good.

Gorgeous bow. Love those Toelke's.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Tzolk...So you are the one who snagged that inventory Super D!  I watched that one for quite a while as it is a beautiful bow.  And yes, our D's are quite similar.  Although mine doesn't group quite as well as yours does at 20 yards!!

I am shooting 2 under with one of Dan's tabs and really like the change and feel of the release I get.  After playing around with the brace heights, what you report is true.  I liked the braced at 7", but when I started playing with 6 5/8 to 6 3/4 the feel of the bow changed a bit in a more favorable manor.  The GT 7595s are still flying well and I really like the setup.  All I need now is a whitetail to stroll by within 15 yards...or a coyote!

I've been wanting to buy one of Dan's bows. But just can't decide between a Super D and his Whip.  Yours sure came out nice.

I've lost track of all the ones Toelke bows I've bought, both new and used...part of the fun for m is buying and trading, though.

Give Dan a call...he wll steer you in the right direction.

Bill,
do you plan on putting a quiver on that D? I know it may sound sacrilege for a Hill style. I use the GN kickback on my D. Adds a nice tough of weight but still keeps the bow feathery light. A perfect pair.

Tzolk...I haven't found a quiver system that truly works for me yet.  I am a 100% ground hunter.  Usually with a Torges tree seat and I lay the bow across my lap.  A quiver tends to get in the way.  That is the only reason I don't put one on the bow all the time.  But stalking through the woods, I love a bow quiver. I still go back and forth with the idea of one...on...off.

awbowman...that could well be a solution!  Thanks for the suggestion.

Just wondering if those of you that have Dan's D bow lost any draw length compared to R/D longbows, whips for instance? I have a couple ASL bows and lost at least an inch in DL. Kinda fouls up what I got them for, poundage wise. Have had, and have, a bunch of whips but thinking about something different for a late season bow.
Great looking bow, Bill.

[TxAg]

Lost about 1/2". Dan says 1/4-1/2" was normal

Thanks Jeff.  

[tzolk]

I concur with Jeff.
