The motivation for Pedersoli's positioning is obvious, isn't it? Their bread and butter has been the traditional style rifles for a very long time, only recently had they introduced the more "modern" inlines and without much success in that endeavor as best I can tell (my own specimen of one of their inlines was pathetic at best). They are simply protecting their own financial interests in a cloud of righteousness.
As to their removing sponsorship of Bridges, can't say I blame them.
You got it. Its all about sales and money. I think they are wasting thier time. I myself think Toby doesn't even make a dent in the ml world same as randy wakemen. Cut from the same cloth I think.
