1. Congratulations for finally getting that bow for which you have yearned for so long. For some reason, when you told me to keep my eye out for a Jaguar, I thought that you had said it was a Martin bow, not a Tri-State bow. I had been watching for the wrong bow!
2. Fortunately, I sometimes proof-read what I type. I think that I suffer from that mental ailment of reversing things (dyslexia??); anyway, the name on this thread was ALMOST, "Jack's Ugly Butt", but I caught myself. I do not recall who first put that phrase to that bow, but he almost caused me great embarrassment - I have no interest in guys' butts. The only butts in which I have any interest are target butts. Some things need to be made clear before they are misinterpreted.
3. I bet that bow would benefit greatly from spending some time with Rich Lopez. I will soon be sending Rich a couple of bows myself very soon.
4. Your new assignment is to let us know how the bow shoots!
My morning break is done, so I am heading back into the salt mine.

Now in the first place... you know I ain't gonna be watching for no Martin Jaguar. That is one of them high tech new fangled gadgets with all the wheels, cables, sights, and such. 2 complicated for me.
In the second place... "BUTT UGLY BOWS" need love too.
In the third place... the condition it is in just adds charater.
In the forth place...If I am gonna send Rich a bow to refinish, it will be one of my Hoyt PM's.
In the fifth place... Thank you guys for not pushing the price up on me, like one of you did in the past on a broken Jack Howard Gamemaster.
and in the sixth place...good to see you chiming in here Ray. Ya noticed I put you in sixth place.

Just looked up the bow in question, Jack's bow must have some real condition issues!
I thought the Tri state Jaguar was quite handsome.
-
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. and I am looking forward to be holding that JAGUAR
What I really want is a 68-69 model... one day

Kinda eyeing the 1967 golden sovereigns for a birth year bow, for some reason the mace is really standing out for me.
BTW Found a Pearson Pinto on a auction site, I think it's beautiful, my wife says "it looks like a pimp's bow!"
-
Seller has still not shipped it. Says becus of yhe wierd design he can fit it in s regular bow box...
WELL...GET AN IRREGULAR BOW BOX.

Finally got my "BUTT UGLY BOW"
It took the seller two weeks to get around to shipping it, and a very poor communicator.
Very pleased with it...in better shape than I had expected and it came with about a 4 degree prisim sight. Havent see one of those in years.
Really not bad for a "BUTT UGLY BOW?.

There is a Tri-State Jaguar - right hand 60" 55#@28" - $85 - Good Condition on traditionalarcherysales.com
I have no idea what they look like but ... since I love my white 1985 SAAB 900, I bet I would love this bow if I saw it... :D

I can't affor to by from Traditional Archery Sales. Lynn has a very high opinion of his bows.

You got it.
However, this not a hobby for Lynn...it is his retirement income.
