I am contemplating joining an organized boycott effort against your products and services. This boycott call is initiated by a group of Texas Sportsman opposed to the introduction of modern weaponry into the Archery Only Sporting Season. Your sponsorship and/or advertising dollars in support of the Texas Fish and Game Magazine published by Highland Publishing Co. is the reason for your inclusion in this boycott.

A preponderance of Texas archery enthusiasts are opposed to the introduction of the crossbow into the early archery only season. A modern crossbow is a shoulder fired, telescopic scoped weapon capable of generating projectile speeds approaching that of a shotgun firing rifled slugs/bullets. We, the traditional archers, believe the current laws that allow these weapons during the general season should remain unchanged.

A statement written on a traditional archery blog, by a person who claims to be in the employ of the aforementioned magazine, that TF&G is dedicating its resources to push an alteration of current sporting laws in favor of the crossbows. It is theorized that the motivation behind this endeavor is either a personal opinion of a single employee or an attempt to gain advertising revenue from crossbow manufacturers with a vested interest in pushing this law change.

I ask that you use your influence as a sponsor or advertiser to maintain the Status Quo and have the Archery Only Season remain just that, devoid of modern weaponry. Should the Magazine pursue this course of action, the 300,000 Archery Only licensed Texas traditional sportsman will unite and boycott the magazine and those products advertised therein.

Please communicate your response to my request.

Sincerely,

Cc: ROY NEVES, President, Texas Fish and Game, LLC
2350 NORTH BELT EAST, SUITE 240
HOUSTON, TX 77032

I am getting addresses and emails of the CEO's of the advertisors and sponsors. I will post here for any who wish to voice their view.

Make sure to copy Roy Neves on each letter. I will look for a email Addy. He is in Real Estate and a Consultant. He should have a webpage
