Bowtech, Elite, Strother, Obsession Evolution

[Brinkley]

Maybe someone can chime in but I seem to remember hearing stories of Ken Strothers with Bowtech then Elite then to Strothers then to K&S, does he have ties to the Obsession bows? They seem to look a lot like the others.

Rocky????

This thread in no way is meant to bash any of the mentioned brands. I like all bows that shoot arrows!!!

They forgot K&K Archery.....but it may have been left out on purpose

They forgot K&K Archery.....but you may have left that out on purpose

I did not copy Kevin's Linkedin bio. Blake did, but Kevin did leave out K&K...that's funny.

It will be interesting to see how things are for him now that him and Kate have parted ways. I have never heard that she was a very "positive" influence on things.

Look at the job history and I am gonna let you guess when they got married.

You quoted before I could correct it!

The K&K deal may have been the straw the broke the camels back. At least Kay helped him master the guyliner application!

I don't know. He is helping to produce some great bows now. Maybe his best ever. Haven't touched an Xpedition, but the Obsessions are the "Kevin's Elites still chasing speed" that alot of the old Elite guys still want. Great bows.

I know Stevens is not on the list and the great "mystery", but the Prevailer is a MUCH improved Infinity. Maybe my favorite bow of all time. Just a GREAT GREAT BOW!!! Perfect in every way.
