(Spoiler) Where exactly is the Black Oak Bow?

[Wasteland Knight]

I've successfully completed Watcher Harrisa's quest for the lost soldiers, and I found a Composite Bow in the barracks. I never found the Black Oak Bow, and looking through the item list it was supposed to be part of the reward from Watcher Harrisa. Where should I look for the Black Oak Bow?

It should be sitting out in the open in the barracks. It looks different from the standard bow, so it's unlikely you picked it up and sold it by accident. (If you did, though, or otherwise can't find it, it's no big deal. It's worse than the composite bow and only very slightly better than the longbow.)

The Black Oak Bow is an okay bow for a melee blademaster who's not actually going to be using the bow much anyway, or even for a sorceress before you get a bow that adds to magical damage. Apart from that, yeah, you're not missing much.

Thanks for the hint. I went through the barracks and hit "g" a couple of times and it turned up. I think Dikiyoba's advice was reversed, as when I compare Black Oak, composite and longbows, the longbow is the weakest of the three and composite and Black Oak are essentially the same. In any case, it was more important for completeness than for it's relative power, so thanks again. I did end up giving it to my sorceress for now.
