Larry Owens, I understand ran the business, don't know if he was the bowyer. They called their fiberglass "Owens Permaglass".

I thought you might know. I was looking at some of the bows from the 1960 catalog. Pretty darn impressive designs.

Make that three, one was a Turk. I also had a U.S. Archery, Kentucky model that was made at the same address. US Archery and Tri-State had the same street address in Danbury, so I figured it was the same business making two different brands.
