Anybody have one do they shoot good know handshock let me know.
Evan,Quinn makes a good solid bow,they shoot well and there is enough mass in the riser to prevent hand shock.-----------Bone
Thanks Bone
Quinn makes some of the best bows you can get in that price range. Beautifully made and great shooters.
Thanks for the input im thinking of getting one
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.
I will be listing a righty stallion for sale soon. it has been fishing twice. very good bows. pm me if interested.
