Hunting Forum

I like to know what you have gotten to test

NOTHING, in over 33 years of membership. But I do have the magazine, and this site!!!!!!

I thought this club was for game hunters not treasure hunters.I joined to learn from the more experianced

Not much to test to speak of but a lot of info from the forum . And the free mag for life

when they ask you to be a life member they tell you get to test thing i am not looking for treasure just wounder who gets to test the cool things and what or who you have to be.

Patience! and ALOT of it. But I really don't care. These BB's and the magazines work well for me. I'm gonn see if I can go 30 years or so like rt and many others without getting anything. Like I said, I don't care.

As soon as I pay for the first book i'm supposed to get a knife to test.If there are 900k of us I don't think I will ever see anything like the Mathews z7.Would be nice though.Had to sell my bow to put food on table for kids.

Getting "freebies" from the club is a lot like deer hunting. You hunt and hunt and hunt...looking for the big 'un...and hunt and hunt and them after maybe 10 or so years and so many more hunters to get the "stuff", the big one will pop up and you'll probably miss it, too. Anyone looking for a handout needs to go to the Salvation Army ... but you sometimes have to pay there too. Good luck....Papaw Jim

In my 20 years with NAHC, I have received 3 things to test. First item was sticky tags to cover the bullet holes in targets when you are sighting in. Gave those a thumbs down as the colour was such that you couldn't see them properly from a distance back & the day I used them it was raining & the colour ran. Second thing was Topo maps, gave those a thumbs up & ordered more from the company for personal use. Third item was the funniest! Received bug juice (mosquito spray) in the beginning of January with instructions to have the test results back within 90 days. The bug juice worked great...there were no mosquitoes! But considering the fact that I live in Canada & we rarely see anything but cold & snow till late March, that was to be expected. lol

Bug juice in January, that was about like my boot warmers in July here in AZ, temperature at the time, about 118.

Someone in NAHC head office should note where they are sending what as well as the time of year

two weeks ago I recieved a very nice stone river fillet/boning knife, pretty decent knife.From what ive been reading on the forum though, people havent been getting much of anything!?

When you consider the NAHC has over 800,000 members, it's no surprise that many members never see a product to test.  I consider myself very fortunate to have been picked to test products, 3 times no less.  I may never see another test item again but that's OK with me.

All I have got was a bill trying to charge me $9.99 for a book I never got NOR ordered.... I think from what my friends have told me they have got some book too but never paid for it because they never ordered it. As far as "test" merchandise....that has to be a farce...just to get you to send your first "join" payment. NAHC has sent me enough junk mail with stickers, patches and CRAP they could have made a real nice magazine and not a magazine filled with **** I will never see....

Iwish members would stop asking what you got to test and what you have won.It ts get old.

Agood magizine and a lot of info from the good people on the bb .27 YEARS

well i must be a very lucky 1 then, i have had 4 things to test! with my lifemembership stuff i got a battery operated lantern, worked ok for a tent, but no lasting power, i have gotten 2 knives to test, 1 ok 1 really good 1,1 is still my favorite pocket knife after 2 years! and i got 1 kids book to test! but don`t hold your breath!! just enjoy the boards!!

hhmmmm I can't have been a member this long. joined in "92 and went lifer in '94 and then trophy in "10. I've tested some things.But the forums and the magazine have been what makes being a memeber worthwhile. Knowledge freely given by knowledgable folks in the forums keeps me coming back. Funniest thing i've been sent to test were hand and feet warmers in July. I know it gets cold up here in north Alberta but that was fun. Especially when they asked if the product kept my hands and feet warm. I said "for sure" as it was about 75 to 80 degrees out. Damn my feet were warm. Good hunting to all.
