As per their announcement pertaining to AR's and other items, we as a community of hunters and second ammendment believers we need to boycott their show and prove to them that bowing down to the ignorance about our rights will not be accepted by us and that their stance against our rights will not be tolerated by people claiming to support the hunters and our way of life.
Thanks.

Wow I can't believe crap like this is going on. It's way easier for them to take our rights away when people won't even fight for them!!!
 
Will be interesting to see what happens with the guest stars like Fred Eichler who is sponsored by Rock River, and promotes the AR platform for predator hunting.

I will lose alot of respect for all these representatives of our sport if the continue to support this show.

Fred and Vicky, Lee and Tiffany, and Jim and Eva Shockey.... I sure hope they stand on the right side of the fence...
 
"The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show is a unique celebration of the authentic hunting and fishing traditions that are cherished by millions of Americans and their families. We are proud to celebrate these pastimes by featuring 1,200 exhibitors offering a diverse range of products from outfitters to fishing boats and RVs, from archery to art and from clothes to cabins.

As a hunting-focused event, we welcome exhibitors who wish to showcase products and firearms that serve the traditional needs of the sport. Clearly, we strongly support the 2nd Amendment. However, this year we have made the decision not to include certain products that in the current climate may attract negative attention that would distract from the strong focus on hunting and fishing at this family-oriented event and possibly disrupt the broader positive experience of our guests.

ESS is proud to participate in the preservation and promotion of the rich hunting and fishing tradition passed from generation to generation by American families."

I was thinking here about the boycott idea. What good is it to do so? I am sure everyone will still buy products from sponsors who do go and set up booths.
How many are going to boycott Ammo, firearms,ecaller,all the products that we use from the sponsors that go and set up? They would be turncoats also, but how many will still buy their products? Eastern outdoor show is not going to ;oose money from the boycott because sponsors paid up front already and do not get it refunded.I will still buy products from sponsors there.We as consumers of outdoor and hunting equipment will still have to buy their products because there is no alternative or if there is,lower quality. IMO

In regards to the show commitee. I'm so sick of these people claiming they don't want to offend anyone or bring negative attention to them. If you believe in something, grow a pair. If you don't, we can part ways now.
 
I was planning on going this year again but not now. By just boycotting is not doing anything really you need to write in, email or call, to show they need to change. Tell them your not going. Thanks for the venders not going.

Hope this helps to fill their email. Lets stand up and do something about it.
I use semis to hunt and the AR 15 (BLACK GUN) for predators.
