TheStudent...My suggestion for you would be to spend a few days at the gun range, and then interview shooters who are willing to discuss their ammo needs. I realize that your thesis targets the "bullet manufacturers relative to the hunting market", however, a major use of civilian bullets is being left out of your survey. Secondly, re-evaluate your survey questions to make sure they are relevant to your thesis. Make sure they are directly related to your needs...or else remove them. Survey participants won't answer some of your questions if they feel they are to invasive of their private matters. Otherwise, good luck with your marketing communications curriculum, and more specifically the Marketing Research project in which you are enrolled. I"ve been there/done that when I was in college, as far as conducting a formal research topic. You should find my completed survey in your email box. Good Luck, Oxford
