    Hi,

    I'm doing some research about potentially applying some existing technologies from another industry to bow hunting. But before this can happen I need to figure out some information on the size of the bow hunting industry. I've been looking online, but have only mainly found outdated information. Would someone be able to point me in the direction of some up-to-date information regarding the size and other information.

    Thanks in advance

    The Department of natural resources or Department of Fish and Game for each state would have the most accurate information I would think.

    What specific info about the industry are you looking for? Total addressable market for the consumers, or are you looking for dealer or manufacturer info?

    I'd like to get some idea on the size of the bow hunting industry? Total money spent on bows, maybe with some historical perspective. Some info on consumer behavior as well - different price points, loyalty to brands. Dealer info would be good, although manufacturer wouldn't be as useful.

    Thanks for the responses.
