PAbowhunter4life Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Re: ATTENTION BOWTECH LOVERS............... Kevin Strother No Longer W/bowtech.......... I Would Like To Tell All Of The Archery World That As Of Today I Will No Longer Be Designing For Bowtech. From 1999 Thru 2006 I Have Designed All Bowtech Models. After Kate And I Put Up Our Wedding Photo's Yesterday, Bowtech Fired Me While On Medical Leave!!!!!!!!!!!! John Strasheim Fired Me Via' Email For " Not Picking Up My Phone " I Have The Email If Anyone Would Like To See It. So Much For Your Patriotic Company!! As For Bowtech, You May Want To Find Out Who Will Be Designing There Future Lines??? I Have Personally Seen A Faster, Smoother, Quieter, & Less Exspensive Line Of Bows. You Might Hold Off On Getting That 06 Bowtech If I Were You!!!!! And Yes There Was And Still Is A Limb Problem. We Worked On It With New Materials, Changed Pre Loads, I Broke 8 Sets On A 06 Tribute In One Day! In R&d We Broke Over 200 Finalizing The Specs For The 06 Line! I Am Not Bashing, Just Letting You Know There Is Still A Problem. I Have Been Gone On Medical Leave For Over 6 Weeks, And They As Far As I Know Never Bothered To Fix The Problem On The 06 Line While I Was Away. As The Co Founder And V.p Of R&d, I Have Heard As Well As Seen Some Things That Would Make Me Wonder If Your New 06 Bowtech As Well As The Ones You Already Own, Will Still Be Covered By A Bowtech Warranty???.......they Might Not Be Around In 07...just A Thought. To All That I Have Met Over The Years At Shows, It Has Been Fun. I'll Still See Ya There!!!! Kevin Here's more to it as well............................... Yes I designed all the bows, but you can't fix a problem when they don't want to lose the speed by reducing the preload, which is what is needed. Limb material also enters the equation, Bowtech uses the cheapest limb material available, there are better materials, but the cost is greater so that eliminates Bowtech from using them. Like when we quit using Winner's choice strings, the quality wasn't an issue, just the price. Sometimes making a bigger profit is more important than the quality of the product, this is Bowtechs position on the limb issue. Since my wife posted the original comments for me under her login name and people questioned whether this is a joke, I have posted under my on username, which I will have to change now.

tedicast Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Re: ATTENTION BOWTECH LOVERS............... I couldn't get on to the link at Mathews. I'm betting a mod or admin over there deleted it. Not sure what to make of it. Sounds like a lot of sour grapes to me. But, I have heard of a couple people having limb problems with Bowtechs, so maybe there is something to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Re: ATTENTION BOWTECH LOVERS............... Sad to see a guy lose his job over something like that. Man there must be something in the water, now Ryan and now this gentleman. Hope he bounces back with another bow company and things happen in life for a reason.

dg Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Re: ATTENTION BOWTECH LOVERS............... I've had my 04 Pro 40 Dually for 2 years now. Love it, no problems. 02 Patriot, same thing. Sorry bud, I'm happy with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Re: ATTENTION BOWTECH LOVERS............... I think the point of that story is to let folks know why Kevin was fired. Not for bashing any possible limb problems a BowTech has. It sure is sad a guy would get fired like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzorp Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Re: ATTENTION BOWTECH LOVERS............... No problems with my 04 Patriot,, Kevin being fired was wrong, but I know how that feels.. I've been canned for the most stupid reason.. I wish him the best,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Re: ATTENTION BOWTECH LOVERS............... It sounds like there may have been a problem stewing between the two before this deal.He sure didn't get fired for doing a bad job,cause my Liberty is sweet.Hopefully he'll get on with another company.It sounds like he has the capabilities to even start his own bow company.

Bow Hunter Derek Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Re: ATTENTION BOWTECH LOVERS............... Boy, he gets to go home to Kate every night. I think I'd take that over a high up position at Bowtech. Besides, you watch, he'll end up being the head designer for Martin's spin off company, Rytera. There is way more to this story and I would guess that his spouting off is going to end up biting him in the back side during the legal battle that will surely result from this. Kate Robinson. And I never even knew there were lottery tickets on sale for that. I'm always a day late and a dollar short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunt101 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Re: ATTENTION BOWTECH LOVERS............... I read this on another forum, that could be bad news for both bowtech and bowtech shooters.... I had intended on a bowtech for my new bow and this will be my first high end compound bow BUT this news has kinda got me swerving towards Hoyt.... Dont know but thats definitley not good....-tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maytom Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Re: ATTENTION BOWTECH LOVERS............... I appreciate the fact that he's comming clean on the Bowtech limbs. As most of you already know, Bowtech's prices are almost even with the top of the line other bow companies as well. And with spending that much money on a stripped bow, having to worry about your bow limbs blowing apart isn't what I'd want to deal with. Thank for letting us all know.

PAbowhunter4life Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Re: ATTENTION BOWTECH LOVERS............... Just for the record, I wasn't posting this as a bashing thread by any means because I shoot a Mathews. I just came across this over on AT and figured that some of the Bowtech shooters on here would be interested in reading this. So please, don't take this as a "Ha ha in your face" thread!

BowJoe Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Re: ATTENTION BOWTECH LOVERS............... I think this guy definately has a lawsuit but I think he screwed it up by bashing BT. He may just want to drop the whole thing and go to Martin. Mathews doesn't need any help. Another thing that really bothers me is this guy not recognizing that AMA and IBO both test each bow that seeks approval diligently and would surely discover these flaws if they are as blatant as this guy states. I think this is all to drum up business for Martin. First rule of competition is eliminate your competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you live under a rock lol The dude is part of Bowtech, like it or not. Everyone and anyone in the archery world knows him. If he is a "poser" then why is he selling all his Bowtech stock on ebay? Whether or not the problems are true I can't say, but the post is 100% legit. There's no fraud involved, no fake posting, no one has a hidden agenda. Finally, don't you think the "real" Kevin would have stepped in by now to say that it wasn't him doing the posting?

BTW I didnt tell you I was the inventor fo the Cam and a Half and Hoyt ticked me off so I went and bought a bowtech .... thats how much stock I put in this... but I guess I am entitled to my opinion aye lol..... funny how all the ppl who "agree" with this are matthew/martin "fans" lol just more brand bashing as far as I am concerned....
