RE: Sponsors backing out of WHA
Allow me to be the voice of reason (or at least stir the pot)!
Business decisions, by sponsors,were made on the premise that hunters would like this type of thing. Once word got out that we didn't care for it at all, those manufacturers with a pulse on the hunting community pulled out. That's what we should like, in or companies, someone who listens to our needs in both products and service. I have no ill will or hold sanctions against those Companys.
TV and especially sports TV is looking for the next Texas Hold'em Tournament. Something that the public embraces and turns into big dollars! Look at ESPN, there are paintball and dart tourneys on the tube. Find a small audience and turn it global. The WHA tried to grab some of the loot. We as the internet voice of hunting stood strong and got some people to hear us. Maybe enough that this thing doesn't fly. But what if it does? What if Joe "the buck sticker" uses a Bowtech and wears ASAT Camo what do we do??? Sell all our stuff and whittle new bows?
We cannot control the companies, we can only buy the products we believe in. Hopefully the companies countinue to listen to us and do what the the moral majority feels is correct.
We as hunters always talk aboutfair chase and the ultimaterespect for our quarry. We don't buy this ideal from any company or product.
Our Ethics are not for sale, because the price is too high. We are the ones who must go to sleep at night knowing we did the right thing!
