HOW WE TEST AND REVIEW PRODUCTS

Why You Can Trust RecoilWeb.com

Since our launch, RecoilWeb.com has established itself as a trusted source for firearm and gear reviews. With contributions from esteemed writers and experts, we have built a rich history as a go-to guide for firearms, ammunition, and optics information.

Our editors and writers uphold this tradition today. Having hunted globally, served in the military and law enforcement, taught at gunsmithing schools, and authored definitive books on firearms and shooting, we bring a wealth of expertise to our content. We conduct rigorous testing to ensure we recommend only the best gear, empowering our readers to make informed decisions.

At RecoilWeb.com, we prioritize objective evaluations and maintain editorial independence by avoiding any influence from advertising on our reviews. This commitment to integrity ensures that our readers can trust the information we provide is unbiased and reliable.

How We Test & Review Products

At RecoilWeb.com, we leverage a broad network of subject-matter experts across the U.S. who continuously evaluate gear throughout the year. While each gear test is unique, here's an overview of our process.

RecoilWeb.com carefully selects topics central to our brand and audience, focusing on handguns, rifles, shotguns, ammunition, reloading equipment, components, and gun accessories. Our editors and contributors identify specific products based on thorough research, new product launches, category expertise, and firsthand experience. We obtain products for testing by reaching out to manufacturers, making purchases, or using personal equipment.

Though we prioritize hands-on testing whenever possible, not every gear roundup on our platform involves fieldwork. Often, our selections and recommendations are guided by extensive research and interviews with experts, industry professionals, and product designers.

Our testing begins with rigorous evaluations of effectiveness, value, durability, materials, and ease of use, often conducted in realistic and challenging conditions such as hunting trips or shooting competitions. After thorough testing, we select the top products, showcasing the best of the best in gear.

AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE

At RecoilWeb.com, we engage in affiliate marketing programs to help sustain our operations. When you click on product links on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the sale. Rest assured, this does not affect the price you pay for the product.

We are dedicated to delivering honest and unbiased content. Our affiliate relationships do not influence our coverage, reviews, or product recommendations. We only endorse products that we have personally tested and genuinely believe in.

Our editorial team retains complete control over the content and direction of our reviews and recommendations. While we may earn revenue through affiliate partnerships, all decisions regarding coverage—including opinions, photography, and language—are made independently by our editors.

We do not promise favorable reviews or outcomes for any product. Any product we recommend or recognize has earned its place based solely on its performance and quality.

Your trust is vital to us, and we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and transparency in all our content and partnerships.
