Title: Nation Hunting Gear Field Test Panel
Post by: krapmit on January 17, 2014, 05:39:56 PM: Hey does anyone have experience with this "Test Panel" from North American hunter?

I got it in the mail, and basically it says that they will send you hunting gear to test and report back on to the agency. Supposedly the group is hired by outdoor companies to find hunters to test their product in the field before it's sent to market.

The logo at the top of the mailing is "North American Hunter" and it says it costs no money.

Has anyone actually signed up for it?

The Member's Test Panel used to be pretty good and I got a few decent things out of the deal but they started making you jump through so many hoops that I don't even bother anymore. I still get the North American Hunter magazine and it' actually got some pretty decent writing in it.
