i was wondering if any of you have shot or seen one of those baleen backed long bows that harrison makes. ive heard they are one of the most reflexive bows there is.

I have one and the the baleen is on the belly; the back is bamboo with the nodes showing. It is absolutely beautiful. Haven't shot it much yet - just a tad heavy for me right now.

If you're talking Jack Harrison, I don't think he makes them anymore, but I can ask.

jack harrison is technicly retired, but he may be making them on the side. he sold the company to fisk and it is now harrison-fisk archery and i believe he is in texas. he continues to make the bows and they are amazing in every way.

Yes Jack will make you a bow, the Jack Harrison HSS but it's not baleen. Isn't baleen on one of those goverment lists of animal parts you can't have like Bald Eagle feathers?

Flyarcher, if that bow is a Harrison and you ever want to sell it, please drop me a PM. Harrison bows are the best ever made IMO.

no ive got many peices you can buy it really easy
fly what are the specs on that bow?

flyarcher · « **Reply #6 on:** January 28, 2008, 06:41:00 PM »

Yes, this bow was made by Jack. I agree, there's nothing else like like an original Harrison. Until I shot one of his bows, I was always looking for something "better" (and I have more bows than I'd like to admit). After I shot a Black Wolf, it was all over - just wanted more of Jack's bows.

The bow is called the Harrison Cane Classic. It's 70", 63# @ 28".

Got pic's? I have two HHC's and a HSS and that's what I shop for these days.

Just left Jack,s and watched a video he made of how to take a longbow, cut it in half and put a composite joiner on it. Have two of his original bows and this one is about a pound lighter. Now I just have to convince myself to come up with the bucks.

I'll see if I can get some photos of the process and post them.

allanburden · « **Reply #13 on:** January 29, 2008, 06:22:00 AM »

Baleen are the stiff, bristles lining the jaws of certain whale species..i.e. humbacks or blue whales. It is used in filtering out plankton for the whales to feed.

The wife went on travel with the camera. It'll be at least a couple of weeks before she's back.

Justin - sent you a PM.
