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^).

Man, I kind of like them!  Deer can't see red anyway, can they?

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

Just pretend it's really good Yew..

I don't know my friend, if i'd paint them or not. I like red myself...Nice lookin bow you've got there...

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

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

George, I am not familair with the bow, but I trust your opinion on its performance.  As for looks, your update is quite an improvement.   :cool:  

Nice job!  

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

George   Much better.Kinda like the diff. in a woman and a woman of the night.Kip

That's not a good comparison.  I've seen that situation go both ways!  lol  

Mo better. Hap

Good for you George!     I hope your new finish holds up.  Nice Job!

Good job George. That red did have to go...LOL

LOOKS GOOD GEORGE  

What material was the tip overlays, it looked different.

Tip overlays are glass/wood/glass.

George , My dad shot a Tri-State with green limbs. His bow is delaminated now but I still keep it . Great bows !

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.
