As a Trophy Life Member and being a member for thirteen years, I would like to take a moment to bring to your attention the negative remarks against the NAFC. Ask any NAFC member you may run into since we wear the logo proudly on our clothing, vehicles, and etc.to set the record straight.
Everything the NAFC has ever promised to me has been delivered as for the magazine and contests which I have never won, but then again I have not won the lottery either. So should I go out and bad mouth the state.
As for product testing, I have received many Items and have never been billed for the test product. I have not been lucky enough to test a boat and keep it, but even small items as fish hooks, new artificial baits, pliers, etc. has been beneficial in being helpful in catching more fish and bringing them into the boat or shore to either be released or the main entrée for the evening dinner.
I have been sent products for my inspection to decide if I would like to purchase them and if I declined the return label was included with the postage and I have never been billed. The only reason some of these complainers want to smear the good name of the NAFC is that he or she procrastinated and did not sent the product back within the time period that is in the documentation
