Title: 60" Quillian Bamboo Longhunter ???
Post by: Froggy on October 02, 2011, 05:50:00 PM
Just picked up a 60" Longhunter, should be here tomorrow. As many times as I was in Dan's shop, I never recall seeing one. I own / have owned 64" & 68. I did speak to D.D, Dan.s son, he said there sure weren'tt many 60"ers done amd were usually in the 40 # or so range, and made for 28" max draw.  This one is in the mid 50#. A rare bird for sure, and doesn.t hurt it's in 9 plus shape. Wondering if any fellow members have, or have owned, shot one ?

Many thanks,

Lanier

Here's a link to a thread where the 60" Longhunter is discussed.

Shoots alot better than other highley touted and more expensive bows of the time...mine likes heavy arrows,when I set the brace height at 6 1/4" it really came  its own,wish I could find a 64" to trad for my 60" lomghunter ....
