Editorial Standards

Independence

Archery Gear Junkie operates editorially independent of any manufacturer, retailer, or PR agency. No brand has ever paid us for a placement, a position, or a positive review. We disclose our affiliate relationship with Amazon below.

Testing

Every flagship product we recommend has been shot by an editor with hunting or competition experience. Specs (speed, draw force curve, FOC) come from instrumented testing — not from marketing copy.

Sourcing

We buy or borrow gear at retail. When a brand ships a unit, we disclose it inline. Loaner units do not get preferential treatment, and we have failed several loaner units publicly.

Updates

Reviews carry an “Updated” date. We refresh after every hunting season and after any major firmware, cam, or limb update from the manufacturer.

Corrections

Mistakes get corrected with a footnote naming the change and the date. We do not silently edit historical claims.
