I have a good friend who inherited this bow. It’s a two piece takedown made by a bowyer named Jack Harrison. It’s a man’s bow pulls 65 lbs at 28 and is 64 amo. It was made in 1987 but is mint has hardly had an arrow through it. I have not heard of this bowyer so I’m asking fellow leatherwallers for help. I have pictures of this beauty I can send but they need to sell this bow but I don’t know the value. Please if you know about these or want pictures if you’re interested in making an offer let me know. It is definitely a killing machine! Thanks for looking and the help!

Jack was a well known bowyer and author who built quite a few bows. Some of his designs were pretty unique and he he put quite a bit of research into them.

He also wrote Petty extensively about his findings.

He had a few different models.Black wolf,Siberian Wolf and American Wolf and one other longbow.Cant remember the name of that one.

His T.D feature is unique to him with the parts he used.Very nice!

Anyway its a desired bow.The poundage could hurt the price and or limit the number of potential buyers.

Should fetch a good price.

Search on the 'net for an interview Rik Hinton did with Jack. It will.give you some background.
