Toward the end of last year, we asked our readers of Bowhunting World — a consumer magazine printed four times per year by Grand View Outdoors — to vote for their favorite hunting and archery brands. For convenience, readers could place votes for the 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards via an online submission system.
To ensure we tapped into as many hunters as possible, we promoted the voting process heavily on all of our consumer Grand View Outdoors websites, as well as associated e-newsletters and dedicated e-mail lists. Like in previous years, the response to our call for votes was outstanding.
The results detailed below should matter to you because it’s smart business to understand which brands and products are liked most by the customers who walk through the front door of your archery shop. It’s our hope that the survey results shared here will be useful when deciding which archery and hunting products to stock in 54 categories.
Drum roll, please . . . . here are the top products based on the collective voice of the Bowhunting World readership. If any of the results surprise you, then maybe it’s time to modify your inventory mix?
