Archery Traditions recurve

[RockRiverRat]

I have a recurve from Archery Traditions with a serial number of QP3C1329. It’s 53#. I’ve had it for probably 20 years. Does anyone have an idea who made it. Dan sold the company before or at the time that I bought it. Was wondering if it’s a Quillian original.

Not sure

I saw the QP in serial #s.Might stand for Quillian Patriot.Which was a 1 piece known for good speed and had a setback handle.

i think the patriot was a takedown.  the canebrake was a one piece.  there was also a travelling hunter which was a takedown.   i have a th and have had a canebrake. i believe dq had his bows built by jeffery i dont know of any sale or change in manufacture but im not a historian on the topic either

For a long time Jeffery Archery in South Carolina produced bows for Dan Quillian. I bought a longbow during the time the store was changing over, and I think Jeffery was still making the bows; however, I am not sure.

Yaa thats right Wodjie 96.My bad.

Cane break was the one I was talking about in the one piece.Setback grip and said to be fast.

Martin Archery built the Canebrake bow.

the canebrake and the TH ive had are both impressively fast bows ime.
