There is no relationship. Kevin who designs for Elite now was one that helped design many of the best Bowtechs ever made.
Many Bowtech guys now shoot Elite because of Kevin and his great designs on bows.
Peter Crawford now owns Elite and this manufactuer is on the move.
Both are good bows.

Awesome forum, gr8 bunch of guys. Daniel Boone said it. Kevin Strothers knows how to get extreme speed, a smooth draw cycle, and a very quiet bow, out of a generous brace height. Both companies put out gr8 bows. If you like Bowtech than you will like Elite, and vice versa. Elites are just a little better imo as they use Barnsdale limbs, and are easier to get good $$ out of at trade time due to high demand and low supply.
