Voting for this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards was moved to a 100 percent 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.
We think this increase has led to a more accurate and valuable set of results. We appreciate every individual who voted. Thank you! With that, here are the top products based on the collective voice of the Bowhunting World readership.
