Dan Whipped Up a Nice One (Pics Added)
« on: July 18, 2015, 12:32:00 PM »
Received my new 2 piece Whip from Dan Toelke late yesterday afternoon. We immediately spent some time together getting acquainted and if initial impressions mean anything we are going to have a long life together.
First off I love the bow bolt. That and the micarta riser add a little weight to the bow, although overall the bow is very light in the hand.  Dan provides 2 endless loop strings with the bow. Not being a fan of this type string I immediately thought to myself that I was going to have to change it, but I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was. I used the string Dan had set up with a nock point and aside from setting the brace height no other tuning was necessary. The bow sent my GT 3555's down range in a flash. Smooth on the draw, fast and dead quiet. The standard thumb rest grip is very comfortable and provides consistent hand placement shot after shot. I spent another hour shooting it this morning and I think I'm falling in love.

Sure is a beauty Fred.  You will have a hard time choosing between that and your next bow...

It sounds like you are healing up good too!
Relax,

You'll live longer!

I have a one piece Whip that was given to me by a close friend. It is a awsome Bo'w and has gotten bloody  multiple times. Such a quality piece. Good luck, she is a beauty.

Fred,
 It sure did turn out great and I know you will enjoy it and how lite it is in the hand and you will wonder how does it throw an arrow so quick for such a lite bow..
 Yeah I'm with the others about that tree in your yard it has seen a many a bow and I think I am going to sneak in one night with my "Chainsaw" and   :p

Thanks guys. Those Toelke's really know how to build a bow.

Keefer, You stay away from that tree. There is still a couple more bows I need to hang from it    :biglaugh:
