Love it. People need to show that we will not compromise. If we don't stand up now, we won't be able to stand later.

We are proud to make this statement in unity with Fred & Michele Eichler, Fulldraw Outfitters, Predator Nation TV and Easton Bowhunting TV.

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 & fellow sportsmen and women and regret this unfortunate situation.

God Bless America and our constitutional rights,
Ralph & Vicki Cianciarulo

Lee & Tiffany Lakosky

Hey everyone, sitting in Detroit right now waiting to fly back home to Iowa! In response to the situation with the Eastern Sports and Outdoor show, we just heard of their decision to ban "black guns" from their show while at SHOT this past week in Las Vegas. Of course, like most of you, Tiffany and I are strong supporters of the NRA and our 2nd amendment and are very disappointed with their decision. Last night an e-mail was sent to us with a statement from the NSSF and quite frankly, we were surprised by their stance. But, to give them the benefit of the doubt, we have not yet had time to dig into this and hear all the facts. Therefore, we don't want to throw out a "knee jerk" statement before we do. Having said that, neither Tiffany or I can think of any excuse to give an inch to the people who are attempting to take away our rights. So, "officially" we will make a statement in the next couple of days but I can assure you right now, we WILL make the right decision.
God Bless
Lee and Tiffany

Why is a company out of state running this show anyway? Sounds to me like they can't handle the pressure of the anti gun nuts in their home state. I commend cabelas and the other vendors pulling out of the show hopefully some of their guest speakers do the same.

Just how big was Cabelas pull out of the show?

..Due to recent changes made by Reed Exhibitions regarding the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, Cabela’s will no longer sponsor this year’s event. After careful consideration regarding Cabela’s business practices, and the feelings of our customers, Cabela’s will, unfortunately, not have a presence at the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show.

The gun ban at the show is huge news and each of us are on the front lines.

Keep the pressure up!

I have heard Matthews Archery is not pulling out of the show.

I started a thread with some information from another site to which I belong.

Please see this thread and add vendors as you find out.

Try not to double post.

FYI

The following has been posted on the ESS Facebook page

When asked if he would join the boycott, "expert guest", Bob J. Mercier had this to say....

"Who are you? What business do you have asking me to boycott an event I am a guest speaker at? I will be at the show, to help others learn about deer behavior. You will miss some good seminars. Your choice. I am proud to be there, unlike you. Please do not contact me or my family again. Bob J. Mercier."

Guys, we should all do our best to thank Cabela's by supporting their business. I know their firearm prices are often high, but even if you go into their store and spend $5-10 on a shirt or something, a little bit goes a long way to say thanks to them for standing up for us all. They were a big sponsor of this event, it's a huge deal that they're walking away.

Great Pic!

Maybe if there were some talk of banning fly rods the rest would change their tunes.

Don't forget to limit fly boxes to 7 flies or less.
