Good bow- that one looks to be in really good shape. Tri-State Archery was out of Danbury, CT started and run by Larry and Louie Owen’s- that is one of the tournament bows under the Jaguar name. Most likely from late 1950’s. You can search on here for different threads about Tri-State and also go to the vintage archery website.

Tiny bit of finish wear on bottom tip... Not even enough to mention..its about mint I can't find a ding or scratch..and straight...

I think this is something very special... Owens woven glass etc?.

Nice Bow. I’ve only seen one other tri-state Bow. My brother in laws father had one. Good shooting little bow.

I had an old one that had been left outside for years. it is delaminated and pretty much falling apart or was. Some guy gave it to me thinking that I could somehow save it but it was way past saving.

I've got a jaguar, not that length though. I believe you could get the jag in 3 lengths for a while. It's shoots pretty well.

My first real bow was a Tri State Wildcat 38lbs. Good shooter, wish I still had it. But between the service and other moves I have no idea where it went.

send it to have it refinished what a great shooting bow, They don't make 70-inch recurves anymore.
