    I am so happy to see all these big name folks step up and back out of the show. Big companys, big celebrities... and I know there are going to be a lot of just plain old hunters and folks not attend. I applaud you all for your decision to abstain from this Limey left wing venture. Perhaps we should organize a take over. How about it Justin.... you up to that. It could be your show next year. It could happen, you're young and hungry. Sounds like a plan. NOT LOL.

    I'm almost compelled to go to the show, just to see all of the empty spaces and lack of crowd. Would hate to give them my money though.

    Not sure if this one was posted, user in another forum received this email. It's also on their website

    Hey PSE fans!

    Just wanted to give everyone an update. There have been a lot of questions about PSE's involvement in the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show. So here's your answer...

    PSE will NOT be participating in these shows and all of our ProStaffers have backed out as well.

    We hope this answers your questions and eases some minds!

    KEEP SHOOTING PSE!

    Doesn't seem like they were going. According to the other site, this is the email they sent out. Justin and the rest of the staff know more than me though.

    The Eastern Sportsman Show in Harrisburg is the largest outdoor consumer show in the nation, and by no means has Mathews boycotted the show. We have had 3-4 Mathews Retailers representing their store as well as our companies products for some time. As far as the second amendment goes, we are hunters and sportsman just like you. We have a large number of lifetime NRA members and everyone in this facility believes in our Second Amendment rights. We thank you for your support of Mathews and our Second Amendment rights

    Was anyone else confused by that email?

    Mathews never went, at least not since I've been going to the show. I believe their are a few Mathews dealers who had booths, but not the company itself. If those dealers don't drop out, its hardly Mathews' fault. I believe thats all on the dealers.

    Is there a running list of those who have not pulled out of the event?
