More pics of the bow? Lol

This is a Toelke Whistler 58” 2-piece, made by Dan Toelke and his son Jared. They’re incredible craftsmen and even better humans. They were super helpful and accommodating; 55#@29”. It zips these XX75s at a blistering ~155 fps. It’s super quiet though. If you look at the pics I posted earlier, you’ll see the exit wound. The entry wasn’t much higher. I’ve noticed they don’t duck the string nearly as much as I’ve seen with other bows, even recurves. It’s just a low-toned “thud” when I release.

ETA: Bocote veneers and the handle is G-10. Think it weighs like 2 lbs and this is heavier than the one piece. Comes in handy when you’re having to stand like a statue. I had 20+ deer around me yesterday. I just stick the bottom limb in my thigh pocket and let the string hang off of my finger. Can’t do that with an 8 lb compound.
