What the survey is about
Southwick Associates launched the HunterSurvey and ShooterSurvey in 2006 to help state fish & wildlife agencies, conservation organizations, and the outdoor equipment industry understand what hunters, recreational target shooters, and personal protectors want and need. Survey results reflect the attitudes and habits of hunters and recreational shooters across the United States and are analyzed to develop new products, provide better services, and make smarter decisions that help improve public hunting, recreational shooting, and protection opportunities.
At Southwick Associates, we care very much about your privacy. All survey responses are kept strictly confidential. Only summaries of the responses are used in reporting.
Why you should participate
How the survey is used
Quarterly reports are available for purchase, and survey data is often used in projects being completed on behalf of state fish & wildlife agencies, non-governmental organizations, non-profits, and others. Here are examples of the data you can help provide:
FAQ
At Southwick Associates, we value your privacy. The only mailing list you will be added to is ours, and we will only contact you to invite you to participate in the survey each quarter.
You can take the survey once per quarter.
The results are shared at no cost with conservation and advocacy groups, allowing them to make more informed decisions and advocate for what you care about. Hunting equipment companies also use the results to improve the products and services offered to hunters.
Each quarter we randomly select five winners from those who have completed the survey. The odds of you being drawn depends on how many people complete the survey that quarter. You can increase your odds by sharing the survey with others using the share link in your invitation email!
