Where to buy U.S.A made hunting equipment??
« on: December 13, 2011, 12:46:00 PM »
Recently have tried to buy american made whenever possible. In these times, I figure if everyone will buy more domestic made goods, then perhaps our economic situation will improve. It's a lot harder to find things than you think. I wondered if you all could post what hunting equipment, clothing, etc. you have that is made in the U.S.A. that way it may save others some time searching. Thanks!

The Asbell's have really nice stuff. Some Filson products are still made in the US, but you have to search for those items. Stormy Kromer is still US made. We are fortunate to have lots of home grown bows.
I try to buy US made as well, and it is getting harder by the day. Good luck, and I'm with you on your quest to buy American.

Carhartt, Surewood, Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
I get a kick out of how the burr gets under the saddles of the Korean products lovers when a thread like this is posted. Globilism = downgrading of USA. I support this country and the people in this country every time I can do it.

God bless you all and merry Christmas, Steve

You can buy everything needed for trad archery that is US made-local-and way superior to imported products.
Why anyone would buy trad equipment from companies that have little idea about hunting downright laughable.

I always ask. If it's made overseas, I pass if I can. Some stuff just isn't made here anymore. Thankfully, most trad gear is. You have to be careful because even some of the US companies have some stuff made overseas. A couple years ago I was looking for a pair of leather, lace-up boots. I found a pair of Justins in a small, locally owned shop in South Dakota. I tried them on and they fit pretty good. The price was under $100, so I was suspicious. I asked the guy where they were made: China. I said, "Put them back on the shelf." For $30 more, he had a pair of Justins that were US made. I'm wearing them right now.

As I said, you have to ask.

I just checked my danner pronghorns and they are made in china. one has to be careful. I was at the North American Livestock Show last month in Louisville, KY. I wanted to purchase a pair of cowboy boots for riding my mules. There was a bunch of boot vendors there. I search several pairs of boots and didn't find the first pair made in the U.S.A. most were made in China. I guess there are a lot of Chinese cowboys. who would've known

I purchase most of my items from Trad gang sponsors,and the rest from people who make them in North America/Canada.  Because I know the pride is still in the product. Maxx

Nothing wrong with buying American where you can.  I buy local when I can, too.

I do have a problem with buying American regardless of any other factor.  We have fallen into the trap in the past of making substandard goods or overcharging for them just because it's an American product.  The auto industry is a good example.  

In other words, I want to buy American, but not if I have to support poor business practices to make that happen.

Beman MFX Classics are made in the USA.

On the Danner's, you have to search the their website to be sure which are made in China and those that are made in the USA.
