Editorial pen name for HuntGearGuide
Roy Lloyd is the editorial pen name used for HuntGearGuide's hunting gear coverage. HuntGearGuide is owned and edited by Charles Willcockson, who uses the Roy Lloyd byline to keep the site's review voice consistent across buying guides, product pages, comparison tools, and field notes.
The guides and tools on HuntGearGuide are built around practical hunting questions: which crossbow actually fits in a treestand, which camo pattern works in mountain terrain versus eastern timber, what a first-time hunter actually needs versus what looks good on a spec sheet. Every page is written to answer a specific question a real hunter would ask.
Crossbow specs are heavily marketed and frequently misunderstood. HuntGearGuide focuses on the practical differences — cocked width in a treestand, trigger quality, how draw weight cocking systems work in the field — not just FPS numbers.
HuntGearGuide's whitetail and turkey coverage focuses on ground blind and treestand setups, early season scouting, close-range shot placement, and the gear choices that matter most for those hunts.
The site's elk and western hunting coverage emphasizes backcountry gear priorities — pack weight, game bag requirements, navigation in roadless terrain, and layering systems that hold up across high-elevation weather swings.
Picks on HuntGearGuide are based on owner review data, manufacturer specifications, and field experience. No brand pays for placement or a positive review. If a product earns a recommendation, it's because it genuinely fits that use case better than the alternatives at that price point.
Pages are updated when pricing changes, new products enter the market, or field experience reveals something the original write-up missed. The "Last reviewed" date on each guide reflects when the content was last verified against current availability and pricing.
