Good action!

This will also give Reed Exhibitions, the UK based company a good idea of what to expect as a market base in a future where these ridiculous infringements are considered/affected by the great and powerful 0z.

Cheerio you twaddle-prattling, warm beer drinking, meat boiling wankers. You and your buddies over at Bangor-Punta couldn’t keep S&W from becoming a solid market share American company. See how well you do once “don’t do business with the brits, they are pr1cks” becomes the norm in American Business.

Cabelas is still listed on the sidebar as an exhibitor on the website, though they are off the sponsor list. I thought I saw another exhibitor who pulled out still listed as an exhibitor, but can’t remember which one.

They are not updating the website regularly. People are going ape $hit on the show’s facebook page. There are new vendors posting on facebook all the time that they will not be attending the show. There isn’t one word out of Reed.

Here’s the show’s Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/EasternSports

Does anyone have any contacts for the “Outdoor Network” who is one of the prime sponsors? Is this the same as the “Outdoor Channel”?

Scrolling all the way to the bottom of the http://www.easternsportshow.com/ home page I see it IS the Outdoor Channel. I’ll be sending them an e-mail asking why I’m paying to have them as a premium offering if they are going to be sponsoring things like this.

Having “progressive” insurance as a sponsor is reason enough to pass.

The show web site is not updated with so many vendors leaving. They have also turned off the floor plan that lists the vendors. If they turn turn on the floor plan with vendors, I will list vendors by room to contact.

I just went to the grocery store and heard the local news report at the top of the hour on Rush. They are reporting on Cabela's boycotting the show.

“Reed Exhibitions, a UK based company,...”

The UK is leading the West into the abyss of destruction so it doesn’t surprise me to see this.

I just learned that BassPro will not be at the show. Their absence is due to a business decision made last summer, nothing to do with a boycott. So BassPro remains on my good to business with list.

FOXPRO Inc.
January 21, 2013
Dear Customers,
2013 Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show

The recent news and decision by Reed Exhibitions and the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show to refrain from the sales of modern firearms and accessories is disheartening and regrettable to hear. We are very disappointed in their decision and even though we would wish them to repeal their decision we feel that much damage has been done. The ramifications of their decision impacts many attendees and hundreds of exhibitors that have supported this event for many years.

The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show has always been one of our favorite shows to interact with our loyal customers and fans. Due to recent events FOXPRO will not be attending the 2013 Eastern Sports and Outdoor trade show. We encourage all of our customers who intended to visit with us to place an order to visit any of our fine retailers. For those who had wished to see us at the show please visit our website for other venues that we will be participating in.
We would like to thank all of our customers, fans and friends that have supported us at this show in the past and wish you all a very blessed 2013. For more information on our products please visit www.gofoxpro.com, or contact us by phone at 717-248-2507.
Sincerely,

FOXPRO Inc.

Crossbow Magazine:

If ESOS does not reverse their decision, Crossbow Magazine has made an offer: "Being a PA based business and someone who attends the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, any CROSSBOW related vendor that had booth space reserved at the Eastern Sports Show and has pulled out, will receive a free, 6 month banner ad on the CBM forum. (If they so desire to take up the offer) Just our way of saying; Thank You! Hopefully, it may help defer a small portion of their financial loss. http://www.crossbowmagazine.com/index.html

Bohning Archery will not be attending in support of our 2nd amendment rights. Together, the shooting sports industry are a force to be reckoned with!

We at King of the Mountain, Inc. have exhibited at the Eastern Sports in Harrisburg PA since 1988! This is our 25th Anniversary of continuous exhibitions. HOWEVER, unless something changes ... and changes real fast... we won’t attend. It’s time that we all hang together.. or they’ll surely hang us all separately.

What has happened? Well, the Reed Exhibitions Group that promotes the event is headquartered in Reed Exhibitions
383 Main Avenue
Norwalk CT 06851
Tel: 203 840 4800
Fax: 203 840 5805
Email: inquiry@reedexpo.com

For farily obvious, politically correct, misplaced sentimental reasons the company has banned the display of hunting and defense rifles. There is even a Facebook page supporting the boycott of the event now and Cabelas which is one of their largest sponsors has cancelled their sponsorship.

Due to Reed Exhibitions Anti 2nd Amendment stance, Bangin Redhedz Turkey Gear is withdrawing from the Eastern Sport & Outdoor show. We feel there has been ample time to reverse this decision and since Reed has not done so we as a Pro 2nd organization will no longer be associated with them. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us on here or on our website, www.banginredhedz.com. Thank you.
