I'm going to keep this Tri-State Jaguar I just bought, but the red limbs give me a headache. I'm painting them green like the other Jaguar so I'll post photos to show the transition. These bows flat-out smoke 8^).

I know....I know! It's just me. I just don't like the red. These bows were made with what was called Owen's PermaGlass. It has a woven look to it and was used on the Tri-State bows. Tri-State was a subsidiary of United States Archery Company, Danbury, Connecticut.

Here are the red limbs. I'll be back with the green ones 8^).

Awww, C'mon George-be a sport. I always liked these bows and never owned one. I had a feeling they're good shooters. Good luck with the paint job. Grant

I decided to lightly sand the riser as well and overspray it with clear.

Well, can't never tried, so here we go:

I don't know, George, you could have bought a new red pick-up truck and had a matching set. ;)

Bill, that's worth a lot of memories there. I grew-up in Boiling Springs area, just a few miles down the road from Shippensburg.
