I'm going to assume you mean Jack Harrison's longbows.

If so, i've owned a couple, and they are everything they are billed as and more: beautiful detail, fast, stable and wonderful to shoot.

There are a few reasons why they very seldom come up for sale, and when they do they command such a high resale price (one reason is that Jack is no longer building them...).

My two piece carbon HSS was one of the last to be built, and is my "forever bow".

In the quest for "the finest bow made" you have to look at a Jack B Harrison. I am not going to give it a rating. Too subjective.

But, fit and finish is fantastic. Speed and cast, fantastic. Durability, fantastic (rarely ever see a scratch on the finish). Accuracy, fantastic (once you get his signature grip under control, you will shoot lights out).

Bob Welsey of the HH Wesley Special said, "Harrison's are the Rolls Royce of longbows"

I hope that helps.

Also, the Siberian Wolf in the classifieds is pretty much the finest you will see. That is a Mongolian style.

But, there are other Hill style bows that Jack made. He made the HCC, HSS, Black Wolf, El Lobo. Some are 1 PC and some are 2 PC.
