Short version: some links on thwacklife.com earn Thwack Life a small commission when you buy something. It costs you nothing extra, and it never changes what we recommend.

How it works

When we recommend archery gear in our reviews, LEARN pages, articles or emails, some of those links go through affiliate programs run by the stores that sell it. If you buy through one of those links, the store pays Thwack Life a share of the sale. Your price is the same either way.

What we promise

• Our picks are not for sale. No company pays to be recommended, and a commission never decides what makes the list.
• Gear at every price. Every recommendation block includes a starter option, because no one should need expensive gear to start shooting. No gatekeeping. No gear elitism. Just real archery.
• Local shops first. Next to every pick you will find a link to find a local pro shop in the Thwack Life Archery Directory. If a local shop can help you, go see them.
• Target archery only. We do not link hunting gear or broadheads.
• Clearly marked. Pages with affiliate links say so before the first link.

Why we do it

Membership in the Thwack Life community is free and stays free. Affiliate commissions help pay for the directory, the events calendar, the LEARN library and everything else we build for archers.
