Does anyone have info. good or bad about this bow?
Very good and affordable American made bow. Very decent speed and stability and the Quinns are nice folks to boot.
Also, can you order directly from them (I couldn't tell from the website) or do you have to go through another dealer? Thanks.
Direct or they can be bought from several dealers if they don't have what you want in stock. PM me if you want to know a few places they are available at.
Doug, I have a Stallion and I absolutely love it! It has fast become my favorite bow. Mine is a standard Stallion and is 51# @ 28".
At 8.6 grains per pound (433gr arrows) it is shooting 190fps. At 10.7 gpp it is shooting 175fps. (530gr arrows)
What can I say about this bow? The grip is IMHO one of the best there is. It fits my hand like it was made for it. The limbs are incredibly smooth. I've drawn it to about 29" with no perceptable stack. (I draw 27.5") It's certainly no slouch in the speed department.
When I first got the bow I was using the endless string that came with it. (I got it used and am not sure what the string is) With that string it was a little on the noisy side and had a tiny bit of vibration after the shot. I made up an 8 strand 450+ flemish string for it, wrapped the ends of the string with wool yarn, put in 2 woolie whisps and it is now dead quiet and completely dead in the hand. No vibration of any kind.
I like this bow so much I actually sold my DAS Master hunter due to lack of use. The Quinn delivered everything that the DAS did and did it with a better grip (for me) and a fraction of the cost.
I've been shooting it off the shelf with a GEREP rest. (one of the little felt pads that get stuck to the bottom of furniture legs, cut in half. One half on the shelf, one half on the side plate) It will accomodate an elevated rest but it shoots so good the way it is I haven't messed with it.
Don't let the simplicity and low cost of the bow fool you. It is one of the best bows out there at any price.
The Stallion would be a great bow at twice the price.If you want a very good bow at a great price it is hard to beat a Stallion.
I happen to be the kind of guy that just has to think he has the very best so I shoot a DAS Elite.However at 4 times the cost a DAS won't be 4 times the bow of the Stallion, it just gives different options.Adjustable tiller and preload,different grip options and any ILF limb to choose from.
Only you can decide if you will be happy with a Stallion but I would recommend one to anyone wanting to try a metal riser recurve.
I have 2 Quinn Stallions. Great bows! Great prices !!
Excellent shooting bows! Out shoots MANY high dollar bows and the grip is awesome!
I also have a Stallion and love it. It is 45lb @28". I did a great deal of research when I bought this bow (my first recurve). I didn't have much cash and everything that I read about the Quinn bows said that the Stallion is one of the best bows out there for the money.
It kill deer too! Sorry, I couldn't resist posting another picture of the buck I got this year with my Quinn Stallion.

Nice buck! What arrows and broadheads are you using?
Thanks guys. Sounds like a good bow.

Thanks! I'm using carbon express terminators 4560 cut to 31.5 inches I think, with 125 grain Magnus Snugger broadheads. I also added some weight tubes to the shaft, I think 3 grain per inch tubes. My draw length is around 30".
I kind of guessed on the arrow specs, broad head weight, etc., but a bare shaft hits hits very close to my fletched shafts and I'm seeing no difference in flight between broadheads and field points.
I believe the riser on the Quinn makes the bow very forgiving to arrow spine since it is cut past center. I also use a stick on bear weather rest, but I am thinking about trying to shoot off the shelf after the season to try something different.
I meant Snuffer...not Snugger!
What Jaeger said.It has a small grip which I like,but you may not.
