3 WHO IS SOUTHWICK ASSOCIATES? Over 20 years examining fish and wildlife statistics and economics. Clients: Nearly all state fish and wildlife agencies Sportsmen-related conservation groups Outdoor companies & trade associations We provide greater insights into outdoor recreation, quantify sales and trends, and help outdoor-related businesses improve profitability.

4 THREE PRIMARY SURVEYS ARE OPERATED: Started in 2007 in response to a huge lack of data: AnglerSurvey HunterSurvey/ShooterSurvey Launched this year in response to the rapidly changing media market: Southwick Associates Media Monitor (SAMM)

5 HOW IS THE INFORMATION GENERATED? 4,000-8,000 sportsmen complete the surveys each month. Respondents primarily come from: Partnerships with non-profits and state fish & game agencies, Press releases covering recent Southwick Associates research, Commercial email lists, and Selected commercial websites (few). Respondents are not paid. Ten gift cards awarded monthly. Results are weighted to represent all U.S. sportsmen: All surveys have some level of error Good surveys recognize this and make adjustments. Sample sizes are reported.

6 ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE APPROACH: Southwick Associates conducts online, telephone, mail and in-person surveys. Like any job, you must use the right tool for the right job. Online surveys provide feasible & affordable data compared other survey approaches: Sample sizes are much larger, and Generates information for smaller sectors of the outdoors market. Around mid-2000’s, online surveys became practical. Visit www.HunterSurvey.com or www.ShooterSurvey.com to see the survey live.www.HunterSurvey.comwww.ShooterSurvey.com
