As an archery retailer, we’re sure that it is important for you and your staff to know what products are well-liked among consumers. Annually, we collect and present Readers’ Choice Awards in our consumer title, Bowhunting World. This year, we are providing a special feature within Archery Business in hopes that it will prove a useful tool for evaluating the popularity of several archery categories and their products.

Voting for this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards was conducted via an online submission system. Voters were able to make their voice known by using an online form with dropdown menu selection for each product category. Grand View Outdoors promoted the voting process heavily on all of its consumer websites, associated e-newsletters and dedicated e-mail lists. The overall result was an increase in participation by a factor of five from past years. We believe that this increase has led to a more accurate and valuable set of results. Here are the top products based on the collective voice of the Bowhunting World readership.
