Unintended consequences, casualties of war, innocent bystanders, all suffer due to someone else's actions. But I don't see the relatively few who boycott having any effect. I'm not saying don't do it or I disagree with it, just stating my expectations.

Its a shame too, there is usually a lot of cool stuff to look at at the Forks shows.
AG hall is being used as a FEMA vaccination center till mid may, thats why they arent having anything there

This was going on even before the vaccinations came out.

The vendors need to stop using eagle arms. This is how to fix things.

I wouldn't boycott the vendors themselves but I certainly won't be going to any more Eagle Arms shows after their stance on 80% receivers. Although I personally do not own any and don't really have any interest in building stuff myself. Prior to this, I attended pretty much every Morgantown show this past year.

easier said than done. if you would like to start your own promotions business and fork over hundreds of thousands of dollars to get it started up and create contracts with venues, purchase mega liability insurance, get the word out and advertise, make sure you dont screw up vendor tables, etc. please let everyone know. after a few years you might be bale to get a decent show rolling but you would still have people bitch about sock and stun gun vendors at your show. I wish there was an easy way to accomplish what you are suggesting but unfortunately there is not. I am aware of some things in motion but like I said....it isn't easy and they might have a rude awakening coming their way. or, maybe they can get some things done and get a new show schedule rolling. who knows.

you cant boycott a show and not effectively boycott the vendors that set up there.

Yes. If the "little guy" supported Eagle Arms I would have stopped supporting them 100%.
Eagle Arms doesn't care if you don't spend the $10 at the entrance, they only care if tables don't sell because they are then guaranteed to lose money (no money from tables + no once coming since there are few vendors).
The time to play around is over.
Anyhow now it's resolved, JSD and the 80% are back so the pressure worked.

glad to see that JSD is back. however, you should know that many dealers attending the show have no brick and mortar stores. by boycotting Eagle arms you are in effect boycotting them as well. like it or not, eagle arms needs dealers and much as dealers need eagle arms. the relationship goes hand in hand for them. I know not all of this is transparent to everyone, but everyone should know that there is more than meets the eye when decisions like this are made.
