Quinn makes some of the best bows you can get in that price range. Beautifully made and great shooters.

I have a lefty Quinn Longhorn and do not feel even the slightest hint of hand shock.  Excellent bows from great people!

Although I don't own one, I have shot a couple and they are indeed the best value for the $ on the market.

Never had the pleasure of shooting a Longhorn. But have had a Stallion and getting another soon. The Stallion is a rare breed - a combination of good shooting characteristics, durability and economy.

I had a Quinn Longhorn for about two years now.  Was shooting it just last night!  Performance is very good for the price.  

I'd give the workmanship of the limbs an A+.  However, I'd only give the riser a C.  Quinn doesn't spend near enough time shaping the handle portion in my opinion.  Very blocky and fat - like holding a 2x2 board.  Also the shelf is about a 1/2" thick and high above your hand.

Fortunately there's plenty of actionwood in the handle to work with.  I shaped mine to my liking with a fine microplane (you can buy it at Woodcraft - it's an awesome tool) and now it fits my hand just great now!  I lowered the shelf about 3/8" too.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but Joe, can you post some pics of your re-shaped riser? Thanks - ronp

Rons right post a few pics so we can see the new riser

Unfortunately I didn't take any "before and after" photos, and I'm not sure you would really be able to see much of a difference in a photo anyway.  Basically, the front of the riser where your fingers go still had corners on it, so I rounded the front.  The palm area was very fat, so I thinned that down.  It was also very fat where my thumb was, so I grooved that area.

Keep in mind I have small-to-medium sized hands.  If you have large hands I don't don't think you'll mind the riser much as is, except for maybe the squarish front.
