This thing looks dangerous, anyone out there ever shoot 1 or own 1, I am intrigued.

Many good reviews over on Archery Talk. Supposed to be a sweet shooting bow and very fast.

Man I am wanting to shoot this thing. I might give HOYT a farewell and give this beast a try

Go see ROger at WIlderness Archery, he has a nice one hanging on the wall for sale up there. Go try it out.

I was told they aren't making bows anymore and you can't get parts. Just something to think about.

Really?! Strother folded? I looked forward to trying their bows out.

I wanted to shoot one when I was shopping for a bow. No one around here carries them that I know of. Someone on here bought one last year.

Their site has new bows for 2011 and they were at the ATA.

Strothers didn't fold, just a change in leadership.

If you are in West Seattle, Wilderness is in Bow, just north of Mt Vernon by a couple of miles. www.wildernessarchery.us

I have been planning on investing in a SR-71 before next season. Those things are awesome!

I don't know anything about their bow line but reading that they changed hands & some thought they had gone out of business would make me a little nervous to buy their products. We live in a time where you have to be much more careful which companies you buy from. It would suck to have a bow with no support. Mike

From what I understand it is still the original owners. Kevin Strother designed the bows and put his name on the company but was never an owner of the company I don't think. He left and started K&K Archery with his wife.

Exactly... Kind of what I meant but didn't state it correctly.

Is he going to be making new bows at k&k?

Lowedog · « **Reply #14 on:** January 25, 2011, 08:35:36 AM »

Yes, something like 1500 a year.

Everything I've read and heard about them says the opposite of that ^. I've hear they are quiet and smooth?? Do you have one let.it.fly?

NWWABOWHNTR · « **Reply #17 on:** January 25, 2011, 01:53:32 PM »

WOW... I have been right next to people trying them out and I thought they were smooth, quiet and fast. I don't think there is a bow in the strothers line that is loud...

Button Nubbs · « **Reply #18 on:** January 25, 2011, 02:12:38 PM »

Since when is speed scary? I think its fun...

i dont own one. i was up at a shoot in bow, wa. forget the name of the shop, sorry

. they had one i could shoot so they gave me three arrows. it only took 2 for me to decide i hated it. look everyone has diferent taste so dont jump on me. it was loud, tons of hand shock, dont remember how the draw felt. i was to worried that the thing was gona vaporize in my hand. could have been some super light arrows but i definetly didnt trust the situation.

I shoot a SR-71 and love it! Best bow in my opinion. And yes Kevin started his own company with his wife, right out of Coeur d'Alene.
