In the last week we have received both a Strother Moxie and a SX Rush. Both bows shoot very well with impressive speed and very little hand shock. We look forward to the Hope which we are told will be here mid March. One of our employee’s Robert after meeting with the Strother Archery reps this weekend at our Big Buck Weekend has decided to go with the SX Rush over the popular Bowtech. That says allot for the newer Strother Archery lineup.
