So my question is has any member here ever taken part in this or is it just a scam? I tried looking online to find out about them and they look legit, but i have always lived by if it is to go to be true it probably is. Your opinions are appreciated. :tup:
Thanks!

I am a life member, about ten years now. I got a little pack of gun oil to test this year, forgot about responding, that pack is around here somewhere.... Guess I won't get the rifle or Zeiss binos to test. :oYA I KNOW RIGHT haha

They recently just changed the way stuff is handed out. They sub it out to a company started by former employees. They have a list of items with point values. you start with enuff points that you can test something quicker. I even saw that some items are available now (they actually need testers to sign up).
My estimate is that I've gotten my money back with just the magazine.

About once a year i get something in the mail from the North American Hunting Club to join them and take part in their hunting field test panel. Pretty much they want me to field test new gear, give them my opinion of how it worked, and then i would get to keep whatever it was i tested.
So my question is has any member here ever taken part in this or is it just a scam? I tried looking online to find out about them and they look legit, but i have always lived by if it is to go to be true it probably is. Your opinions are appreciated. :tup:
Thanks!
Not worth the stamp to send in the reply.... I dislike any company that sends you *censored*, then bills you for it, but you never ordered it.. The magazine is not worth the other crap they do.

I joined them last year. Started sending me unwanted books. They wanted me to send money for the books. Hell no. They threatened to send me to collections if I didn't pay. I think they are a worthless group myself. I told them to shove it and haven't heard a word from them. I also signed up to be a tester, nothing. I think they are only in it for screwing you to get to pay for things you didn't order. As stated in others answers, you'll never be a tester as they advertise.
:yeah:
This is exactly what happened to me when I joined them. I want nothing to do with them POS'

They just re-did their whole product testing process and I like it. You can check it out at www.stuffstuff.com (http://www.stuffstuff.com) I am a life member and I have tested a few items but nothing real big. I would say that it is a perk of being a member but not something to join the club for. I would recommend joining if just for the blogs and articles on the site, plus you get the magazine and for $12 a year that’s a fair deal. :chuckle:
What pushed me away was not so much that I never got to test anything(though that was a small factor). The main reason I dropped my membership and will not renew is the practice of sending crap to members that were not asked for, with the assumption that if they fail to mail it back, or if it gets lost in the mail the member gets billed for it.
:bdid:

Somehow I though I'd sign up "just to see" and they kept sending me stuff that I would have to return or be charged. One time they sent me a bill for something never received and then continued to harass me for months. After a couple letters and phone calls I finally got out of their Club.
The magazine had a good article on occasion but contained way too much on food plots for whiteys, baiting for bears and turkey hunting. If it had more muley/elk content I'd give it a better review.
All and all, just throw their garbage where it belongs, in the garbage.
Subscribe to Eastman's or the RMEF. At least they are legit and will send you a knife or elk call with your subscription.

The only good thing about mys situation is that I get the magzine free now...I've been a member long enough to more than pay for the dues. IMO, not worth joining and I have no problem sharing that opinion with anyone that asks. :bdid:

I started keeping their books. After many threats of collections they finally stopped. I had about 20 new books, lol.
