we lost a Quinn Stallion shooter

Some of you may know that the actor Patrick Swayze was from Houston (WaltripHS'70)...
He grew up not far from where David & Peggy Quinn used to own Hillcrest Archery in the Spring Branch area of Houston.
And used to shoot at our local club, Buffalo Field Archery Club.

A few years ago, in town, he dropped in to say Hi to the Quinns and bought a Stallion to pack on horseback.

Terry Quinn & Patrick Swayze


Rest In Peace Patrick, you will be missed.

Yep. Good guy from what you hear and read.

I never knew Patrick was a bowhunter. Sad to hear of his passing.    :(

I'm a Quinn Longhorn shooter and had know idea the he shot Quinn's.

Seem like he might have been a regular guy....

Didn't know he was a bowhunter. He was solid through his career & life though. Never vascillated. Might be a connection there. God Bless him & his family.

I never knew he was a shooter/hunter they have to hide that in Hollywood or get blackballed.

If you don't beleive that ask Tom Selleck.

God Bless you Patrick Swayze you will be missed.

Whitmire - he owned a beautiful ranch in northern NewMexico. He bought the Stallion because he hunted from horseback.
When he used to come by the local Houston archery club to shoot - was a GOOD shooter !

I did'nt not know he bowhunted either. To bad hollywood is so negative with their views on hunting.

Rest In Peace. Patrick Swayze

It's nice to learn that he had time for flinging arrows and the outdoors; may there be plenty more of both in heaven!

Yes, it's good to know this! Thanks Capt. Jack!  I always loved Partrick as an actor. Red Dawn, was my first movie memory! Remember his brother after shooting his first deer!

 I don't think he could have ever made a bad movie! And he loved horses, that says alot!

If you have more stories, please post!

Prayers to his family and friends!

RIP.

Dang, would of been a good advocate of the sport if it wasn't so poorly looked upon in Commiefornia. He was one of the VERY few actors I respect. He will be missed by many.

That is cool thanks for sharing these details captjack

I didn't know that either.  Thanks.

God Bless Patrick and his family,Blake

HE WAS A GOOD SOUL, AND WILL BE MISSED

A good man and steward of the land. He fought a good fight and has my respect.

Prayers sent for a special person

Never knew that about him. Thanks for sharing.
