    Default Legacy

    I have been an Eliteist or as some might say a fanboy since August 2006.
    That was when I bought my NVG E-500 and have shot and owned only Elite Bows since. I have a few in my stable now LOL. I have seen the Elite Nation Grow... LOL the forum membership increase.
    Say what you may about Kevin Storther but he has left quite a Legacy.
    Bowtech, Elite Archery the best bows ever built (today & yesterday)
    and Strother Archery. I wish Strother Archery well.... and hope that K & K Archery does well. I am thankful that EO has puirchased Elite Archery and Pete seems to be a class act. I am so glad that all the drama and speculation that Elite going out of business and other rumors are OVER. I am a beneficiary of the Elite Promise. I think this Promise speaks volumes of the leadership of Elite Archery. I do however think that too many durogatory comments about Kevin have been made and this is sad. He has given archery alot and he and Kate started the best bow company todate.... Long Live Elite....................

    Well said Dan, took me a while to finally come over to Elite, just liked the bowtechs too much and gave me the chance to stir the pot with the Elite shooters on another forum Sean, Wassaw, and I were members of. I finally decided in 08 to buy a XXL and right when I was ordering one, they switched to the '08.5 models. Ended up with a GT500, but traded it for a XXL right after hunting season was over. Glad to see the direction Elite is headed and think their future is bright with Pete and crew.
    Did you see the size of that CHICKEN??????

    it's like I'm playin' cards with my brother's kids or somethin'.

    Very well said Dan.

    I do not have any hard feelings where Kevin is concerned and have also benefited from his design work since January 2007.

    Have not owned a bow that is not a product of Kevin since.

    Sure wish he was still producing bows with binary cams.

    He started Elite with Kate and this company has greatly influenced everything about my love of archery.

    Totally agree. I have owned nothing but Elite since getting rid of my 05 Switchback. I'm up to my 20th Elite bow so I've tried almost all of them.

    Agree.
    Easy to get caught up in the drama. and even easier to say things or take them wrong.
    He is a very likable person.
    Wish him luck in what ever he does.
    Elite is getting more stable and make a great product.
    No ifs and or buts Just maybee.

    Very well said Dan I agree and one of the biggest things that impressed me about Elite was Kevin posting and helping members. Pete,JKK,and crew have picked up the ball taken Elite to even higher heights.

    Well I bought my 1st Synergy 10 months before EAF was even created, so that had nothing to do with it for me.

    It had everything to do with the Synergy being fast as heck in 2007 in a 7" BH bow. It was a regular, shootable speed bow, not like anything else out there.

    I shot McLuvin's Synergy and it began.
