Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Toelke has arrived

The new 150 Werewolves are friggin impressive. I ran those on Beeman 400 MFXs with 100 grain brass inserts on a 60 pound recurve last fall. I punched 2 doe tags on the river bottom with them... Made me change my mind about 2 blades.

As far as groups. They're overrated. As long as your hitting close to the spot you picked at any given unknown yardage, you're good to go [smartasssmirk] Seriously, I bareshaft tune my setups, remembering to add 12-15 grains tailweight with blue tape to simulate fletching. Nock high is pretty standard, tune the left right out of it and then papertune the up/down out of it and rock on.

Yes, I think that 31" draw is making the difference. My arrows are cut to about 29". Then I added 100 grain inserts with 160 grn STOS broadheads. They fly very nice for me.

I also enjoy practising more with my longbows. My son lives in your area of the world, so I get out to CO a couple of times a year- have elk hunted 3 times. Good success the first time, we went three for five (cows) but not so much the last two trips. Thinking about trying a new area next time. Good luck with your new bow.

I have shot traditional for exactly 40 years now. Still have my first "real bow" a used $12 Black Bear. About 10yrs ago I purchased a Toelke whip and have never looked back. Flawless craftsmanship, totally quiet, fast and visually stunning. Now my son and most of our friends are shooting Dans bows. Congratulations on yours, you WILL love it!
