As I aid I have no intent on bashing strother bows. I know nothing about them besides what I have seen on here. I will say from watching the videos they do seem to shoot well.
I doubt i will even ever shoot one as the nearest dealer is at least 3 hours away. Even if i did shoot one and thought it was the greatest thing on earth i doubt i would own one simply for the fact my proshop guy doesnt sell them.
I have no doubt that in an area there is a Strother dealer the bows will sell. Especially if the shop pushes them. It seems to me that most guys in a given area shoot what the pro shop pushes. For years the main line our local shop carried was High Country-guess what we all shot High Country. Now his main line is bowtech and most now shoot bowtech. Another shop opened about a half hour away who carries 4 big name brands . Most from that shop shoot mathews as that is what he really pushed .
In all fairness I will say I dont think Don has bashed bowtech or another brand. He openly admits to owning them,shooting them and likeing them. However it does seem he pushes for Strother as hard or seriously as any other bow manufaturer prostaffer or affiliate.
It makes me wonder if someday we will see Stother prostaff in his signature.
As for him dating Kevin Stother--- I wouldnt go as far to say that-----besided I dont think his new hadcore hunter suit is built for two .
Besides I think that spot is taken
