    Honestly usually whatever is on sale, or what looks best to me at the time.

    I'm not very brand loyal. Normally I just buy what works the best and lasts the longest.

    Rocket Steelheads are the only broadhead I buy. Other than that I am pretty much open to whatever is best for the money.

    I am pretty brand loyal myself. I think cost can certainly be a factor, and I do switch it up on certain products from time to time, but I can tell you a few brands I have stuck with over the years and haven't switched. Clothing- Under Armour, man I really love the stuff!! I also have continued to keep buying Lacrosse boots over the years, the new Areoheads are amazing.

    If I find high quality gear I like it creates loyalty. I love my Kuiu gear and will be my go to for years to come. Wicked Tree Gear makes a great product and I will continue to support. Other than that not a lot of gear stands out to create loyalty, but if it does I will use and promote.

    Not brand loyal at all...

    Boots: Found on sale at Scheels
    Camo: I am brand loyal to a point... First camo I got was Scent Lok for Christmas. Haven't had to buy anything else - It looks good and has treated me extremely well.
    Bows: I'm shooting a 2006 Bear Instinct my dad bought me from a pawn shop...
    Arrows: No.. Shooting Cabelas brand arrows
    Broadheads: Shot Grim Reaper mechanicals last year and fixed slick tricks this year...
    Bow Sight: Tru - Glo 3 pin for me... Absolutely 0 loyalty
    Stand: Whatever is cheapest... Hunted from the ground my 1st year bow hunting last year
    Face Paint: Face paint... Whats that?

    I'm brand loyal as long as quality is maintained. I'm not loyal enough to keep buying a brand just because it's "the brand". Under Armor, Hoyt, NAP, Real Tree, Ford, Case IH, Kubota, Caterpillar are all my "go to's".

    Boots, I will generally buy Wallmart footwear, the conditions my boots go through I rarely ever spend more than $50 for. I don't care how well made I'm only going to get a year out of them anyway if they're for hunting and/or work.

    I will say this... And it's not because of what everyone says and uses on the site.

    I will always be brand loyal to Monster Raxx and Covert cameras.... They have both worked extremely well for me. I got 2 Covert Mp-e5 from my GF for xmas. She got them both for $100 last Xmas and I could not be happier with them.

    I'm not.

    Each company has a couple of products that they excel in, but their other products are average or you just don't need quality in that certain item.

    Not in the least.
    There are brands that I have bought and continue to buy because they make a good product that works well for me.
    But if your too brand loyal , you may just miss out on a product that would work perfectly for you in a given situation.

    I'm not afraid to try new things, that's how I found some of the things I use.
    If your sponsored or have endorsements well that's something entirely different.

    I chase quality in products. I have shoot several kinds of bows, drove fords and Chevys.
    I have learned, brand name camouflage and bow, and what kind of truck you drove to the woods does not make the bow hunter. I have had pretty good luck with my choices ( not ways ). Buy good quality and you can't go wrong. When someone is trying to sell you on a brand, be sure they have used and tested it. Most of the time, it's the, what I have is the best mentality. Now with that all being said ) I drive a jacked up Chevy and shoot a Mathews. My back up is a jacked up Ford and a Hoyt )
