Become a Reviewer

Sample Review

A sample review is required as part of your application for consideration of becoming a RealHunters reviewer. We want to want to maintain a brand of only having high-quality reviews by real hunters.

Please provide a review of a piece of hunting gear with which you are experienced. All sample and future reviews must be your own original unique and original work. You may not submit reviews you have written for other websites or companies, and you may not use copied, plagiarized, or copyrighted material from other websites.

Choose a product that you have experience using and can ideally be purchased at an online retailer, then download a copy of our review template and complete it with the following requirements.

Sample Review Requirements

• Maintain a “friendly expert tone.” Talk about your personal experience using the product. Include stories where the product performed well and where it could have done better.
• 800 to 2500 words. You generally want to have a higher-priced item be more thorough and have lots of pictures but don’t make them too long.
• Take a few minutes and research product reviews for a product you are interested in and think about what engaged you in the article:
  • Was it to the point?
  • Was it organized well?
  • Did you skip past a lot of the writing because it was a wall of text?
• Quality is the most important thing to keep in mind. The RealHunters brand is focused on quality reviews of quality products by real hunters.
• Be sure to include keywords related to the product.
• DO NOT plagiarize material from other websites.
  • We have a plagiarism analysis tool that will be run against any submitted reviews to help avoid any copyright issues.

Photo Requirements and Recommendations

• Quality images are the most important thing. You do not have to be an expert photographer or have a high-end camera.
• You may use a cell phone camera, ensure you have good lighting, and try to take most of your pictures in horizontal/landscape format.
• Take pictures of the product being used in the field. Photograph any special features, components, or things you are explicitly highlighting in the review.
• Trail camera reviews should include daytime and nighttime sample photos/videos.
• Include a minimum of 3 photos with your review.
• You will generally want to include more photos for more expensive items.
• Feel free to include as many photos as you would like, and we will choose the best for the article.
