How would you rate a Dan Quillan bow???

Hello all, long time no post. I trust God has kept everyone healthy and wise? Well healthy anyhow

. I recently purchased a Dan Quillan takedown that is not the prettiest stick to behold but it sure flings an arrow with authority. I know Mr. Quillan made bows for awhile but is currently not as active. What are you oppinions on his bows? I realize beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and I do not intend to put this bow up as it really does shoot nice, I'm just fishing for information.
Thanks all,

I've only had one Dan Quillion bow for about a year, the Bamboo Longhunter, and I really liked it. But I decided I needed a new bow and a guy had some spare cash... Like several other bows I've let get away from me over the years, that's one I wish I'd kept.

Welcom back Rat! I liked the Longhunters ok--I'd rate them a 6, maybe a 7 on a scale of 1-10. Dan didn't make the bows he sold, he just designed them and farmed out the work. I haven't seen him in several years, but hear his health isn't too good these days.

Didn't know he had a td longbow--what's it called?
