    Seen this posted on facebook last night that Dennis from Obsession has purchased Strothers. I remember seeing some rumors on here awhile back and it looks like they came true. So what everyone think will happen with the two companies? Obsession seems to be up and coming on a very fast pace recently.

    Good guy from Georgia. I don't know him, but I have spoken with him and his crew multiple times at shows.

    While I know nothing about what goes on behind the scenes; it sure seems like Kevin Strother jumps around a lot. First Elite, then some other company that I can't remember the name of, now Strother Archery itself. Great bow mind, maybe not a great business guy... or maybe he is. lol.

    Either way, Obsession looks to be an up and comer. Hope they keep it up. Nothing like healthy competition in the rear view mirror of the bigger companies to keep them moving forward as well.

    What forum did you get a vacation from? I wouldn't give him a dime of my money cause of what he has done to all the other archers out there. Will he have anything to do with Obsession?

    Addix ....I am back on there it's all squared away.

    He designs for a few companies right now, Obsession and Xpedtion . He was also designing for the now defunct Stevens.
    Add Stother archery to the mix as they are now one and the same with Obsession.
