jesse8953 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 This is the statement on the internet 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. Now Cabelas dropped out along with many other vendors.Hundredes of people are going to boycot the show.America is speaking up and sounds like the show is going to be a flop!T.V. celebs may not go to the show. Lee and Tiffany are going to make a statement later this week. This was from Freds fan page! We are proud to make this statement in unity with Ralph and Vicki Cianciarullo, Archers Choice and the Choice Due to the recent changes in policies made by Reed Exhibition we will not be attending the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show unless they reverse their decision. As strong supporters of our 2nd Amendment rights we are all united in this decision. We were all looking forward to attending again this year to see our friends and fellow sportsmen and women and regret this unfortunate situation. Sincerely, Fred and Michele Eichler, Fulldraw Outfitters, Predator Nation TV and Easton Bowhunting TV. God save America and our constitutional rights.

LETMGROW Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 You can bet you won't see me there. Whatever excuse they can come up with won't dispell the fact they have caved to the idiotic politicians in this country. I hope they loose their butt big and fade away into the sunset. If they were based in NY I could see their reluctance. But PA? Get real! This will play right into the wrong hands and can be used against US. I hunt predators with an AR-15 varmit rifle. They or no one else can tell me this is not a hunting rifle. There might be alot of woodchucks and coyotes that could tell you it is one **** of a hunting rifle if they were still alive.

ruttinbuc Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 There is movement afoot on boycotting this show in defense of the 2nd amendment. I didn't have plans to go, but I am in total support of getting the word out to stand up. It only takes one domino to fall to start all the rest, either way you look at it. I'd rather see it fall in favor of the Constitution myself..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Let your voice be heard! Bass Pro Shops has nothing to do with the show this year. No booth or bus rides from their Harrisburg store for whatever reason. The Bone Collectors were not scheduled to appear from the start. There are many celebrities and vendors to add to Luke's list, but many more are needed to support this effort. Let your feelings be known if you believe in this movement. https://www.facebook.com/BoycottTheEasternSportsAndOutdoorShow?ref=tn_tnmn Example email As a sportsman and a freedom loving American who believes in the 2nd amendment I ask that you join in the boycott of the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show. Reed Exhibitions has taken the stance that goes against the cherished traditions of every law abiding gun owner in the country. They joined a misinformed and misguided faction whose agenda threatens our very way of life. Please stand with those of us who know the difference between god given rights granted by the Constitution and knee jerk directives from the bully pulpit.

dbHunterNY Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 didn't see Mr Larry Weishuhn mentioned above... saw reports that he wasn't attending. Chris Brackett was figuring out what was going on but sounded like he wasn't going. Due to not dissapointing any fans he was thinking of going to find gun or archery shops and tour the area during the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) The celebs are not the ones that made this happen! This all started on another hunting forum I belong to. As soon as I seen this I came over here immediately and made a post, to let you all know the goings on. Because I know some of you travel a good distance to here. Just as a heads up that it might not be the same as before! LOL, might not ever happen again. The boycott started at HuntingPA.com and the members there, you can thank them for standing up for our second amendment rights, and getting the ball rolling!

LifeNRA Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 [h=1]Matthews Bows Releases Statement[/h]This is copied text from a statement released earlier from Matthews Bows… Please refer to their statement below. Like many outdoor enthusiasts, Mathews was surprised and concerned to learn that The Eastern Sports & Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, PA was banning many types of guns and accessories from being displayed and sold at the upcoming show in February. We are a proud supporter of our Second Amendment rights—rights that protect all other freedoms. We stand firmly with Americans that have made their voices heard and who choose freedom. Corporately, Mathews doesn’t attend the show and of course will not be in attendance in 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
