Who out there is shooting a Quinn Stallion?

[PeteA]

Thinking about picking up a Quinn Stallion 50#@28 60inch. Was wondering what you think of the bow. I hunt whitetails in NY Southern zone. Very hard on equipment. I would like to shoot aluminum off the shelf but hear that the shoot the best with a rest.

Anyone have experience with this bow? Also do you know of a dealer or can you purchase directly from Quinn Archery?   :cool:

I have one and really like the bow.  I don't hunt, just shoot. Does good off the shelf, but better with the supplied little flipper type rest.  I'm bettin that a feller named Koger replies later to this thread.  He's hunted with one extensively and will give you the straight scoop.  Just killed 4 yes 4 turkeys with his this fall.   Hope this helps.  Al

Thx will keep an ear out for Koger.

Hey Pete! Yes I am a Quinn fanatic, I can shoot them as good as high dollar bows, maybe I am just not that good a shot. They tune easy, quiet with some wool puffs, shoot fast and flat. The ones I have have a bear weatherrest just left them as is and they shoot great. My primary bow is,#50 @28, 60". I shoot GT 35/55 or Vapor 2000's, cut an inch longer than my draw and get great flight, with either field tips or broadheads. I shoot primarily wensel woodsmans, and Ace standards. I have both these heads set up with aluminum screw in inserts at 25 grains, broadheads 125 for a total of 150a up front. I have played around with heavier inserts and such, but this setup works so good for me I leave it alone. I have found that between 400-500 grains total arrow weight is fine. I have 3 different Quinn riser, 7 sets of limbs. Works great on deer and turkey for me. Pm me back anytime for more info if I can help. Sam.

Had 2 and really liked them. Shot a lot of fish and they were very dependable. Shot off the shelf with no problems. Great bow for the bucks...hogs....carp...gar...etc.

Mine's 64" 48.5#@28 and I draw 27.5, been shooting 1916's cut to 29" w/125gr woodsmans. Shoots great off the shelf with a piece of peep sight tubing under velcro for a sideplate. Real smooth seems bulletproof. I will probably get another for my grandson soon.

Thx guys looks like i need to call the Quinn's

[agross1]

i just got a quinn stallion with the classic limbs last week,  it was used but basically new , the guy only shot it a couple of times,  it is 62 inch and 55 pounds,  seems really smooth right out of the box, i really like the look of the bubinga limbs, for the money i would definitely say it's worth it

I had a chance to talk to Mr. Quillian about 5/6 years ago, super nice guy he was,answered every question I had in detail.    We talked long bows for quite a while, I was entirely ignorant about them and gave me long bows 101.
 
 He also told me about a brown bear he killed up in Alaska with a long bow, if I remember rite it weighed somethin 1500 pounds, and shot it at (I think he said) 8 or 10 yards.   He told me when he shot it the bear turned and looked in his direction for a few seconds then started walkin down the trail and fell over.  

  Told me that if he'd  been usin a recurve the bear would've heard the string slap the limbs and probably came after him but on a long bow the string dont make contact with the limbs and thers no noise.  

  Dont know if I could start a fight with a grizzly bear with a switch, but he had enuff confidence in his equipment to pull it off.  

  He was probably one of the most interesting people I've ever talked with.

The Quinn's Stallion is about as bombproof as a bow can be. Don't worry about treating like a hunting tool, it's not a fragile flower. That being said, you can break an anvil if you mistreat it enough!

You will not regret the purchase of a Stallion, they are great shooting bows.

My 2 cents,

I hunt with a Quinn Stallion as well and really like mine. It's basically my first and only trad bow, other than an old Ben Pearson that I use for bowfishing, so I don't have much to compare it to. I have a 60" with 45 and 50 lb. limbs. I have a 30"+ draw and do not notice any stacking of the limbs. I use a bear weather rest on mine and haven't tried shooting off the shelf. I know they recommend putting a piece of peep tubing behind the strike plate if your going to shoot off the shelf. The riser is cut 5/16" past center so it helps to push the arrow out from the riser a bit. I had to add some extra foam tape behind my rest to get my arrows to tune, but I'm shooting 225 grains up front with Carbon Express 250's cut to 31.75"

Pete, get that bow, you shan't be sorry, not at all.
The Stallion is rugged and easy shooting.
Get yourself a Bear WeatherRest & tune 'er up.
Everything I read about the Quinn Stallion proved true and then some.
Cut 5/16" past-centre, so there's many spines she can shoot.
Fast and easy in the hand, like dancing with
a slim redhead    


Best bargain for the $$$$, period.
Made right here in US of A too!

Johnny, different maker, these guys are talking QUINN not Quillian. And yes "Dan the Man" was an absolute treasure to the traditional archery community. Our world is a bit less bright from his passing.

To the original question: I didn't own one but borrowed and shot one for about 2 weeks. It is an excellent bow for the money. You can spend a lot more and probably not be able to shoot any better than with a Quinn. If I were on a limited budget for a bow, I'd pick a Quinn and feel completely happy with my choice.

Been shooting a Stallion for three years now. Bought it as a back up bow but it quickly became my go to bow. Have had a few custom big name bows but have to say, I like my Quinn better, And it's a heck of alot cheaper than the big name bows !!!!

[Johnny Reb]

Sorry about that,  guess I need to tune in a little more.
