October 22, 2008 at 6:43 pm #718704Fill up now and enjoy the “cheaper” price…after OPEC closes the spickets to a drip, and they will, the prices will climb again. They’re (OPEC) even asking countries not involved to slow production!! They’ll get their way….we will pay.

Not at all.
OPEC is only going to cut back production to level usage, to eliminate the current “surplus” that keeps building each week and is “speculated” to build each week.It will jump either Friday or Monday, but by the next reserve public release a week from today, it will drop drastically back down.
I said a few months back, we’d see 2-buck oil this fall. I’m going to back off that and go on a limb that we’ll see $1.75 by Christmas. Gas dropped over a dime today alone on the market and oil still dropped close to $5/bbl today, knowing OPEC is going to cut production on Friday.
Demand is down, spending is down, however our dollar is going to continue to grow against the world buck.
We’ll come out of this OK just yet!Just my speculation on the cloudy crystal ball…..
October 26, 2008 at 3:28 pm #715152$2.12 at Kwik Trip in Redwing 10/25 – afternoon price. I’m sure it won’t last long.

“Many PA sportsmen & women are boycotting the Eastern Sports and Outdoors Show in Harrisburg because of their stance on “black rifles”.

January 23, 2013 at 2:43 pm #129054Great. Hope the People who hold the event lose their on the event. I know I would not attend the event
January 23, 2013 at 7:14 pm #129067Glad to see it and makes me proud to be a sportsman. My hats off to those companies who stood up!
January 24, 2013 at 3:53 pm #129094This is awesome! Solidarity! I feel bad for any small shops that generated a lot of revenue from such an event. Hopefully they will find a way to recover that income.

National Shooting Sports Foundation Statement on the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show
We have just learned that Reed Exhibitions has decided to postpone the 2013 Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show.
In the days following Reed Exhibitions’ announcement that modern sporting rifles would be prohibited from the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, the leadership of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) has been in intense, frank discussions with Reed Exhibitions management in an effort to reverse this unacceptable decision. These discussions reached an impasse.
NSSF is in no way affiliated with, nor does it participate in or exhibit at this show in any way. Reed Exhibitions does, however, manage the NSSF-owned SHOT Show (though Reed manages the SHOT Show, all SHOT Show decisions, policies and actions are made at NSSF’s direction).
Because of Reed’s recent actions, NSSF is considering all options regarding the management of future SHOT Shows.
January 24, 2013 at 5:15 pm #129096That reed company should be shunned into bankruptsy if you ask me.
January 24, 2013 at 7:49 pm #129102Glad to hear the show was canceled. It goes to show what can happen when Sporting companies and sportsman stick together. As sportsman more than ever we need to stick together and make our voices heard.
January 24, 2013 at 10:07 pm #129113From the ESOS website
Reed Exhibitions has decided to postpone, for now, the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show given the controversy surrounding its decision to limit the sale or display of modern sporting rifles (also called ARs) at the event. The show was scheduled to take place February 2-10 in Harrisburg, PA.“Our original decision not to include certain products in the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show this year was made in order to preserve the event’s historical focus on the hunting and fishing traditions enjoyed by American families,” said Chet Burchett, Reed Exhibitions President for the Americas. “In the current climate, we felt that the presence of MSRs would distract from the theme of hunting and fishing, disrupting the broader experience of our guests. This was intended simply as a product decision, of the type event organizers need to make every day.
“It has become very clear to us after speaking with our customers that the event could not be held because the atmosphere of this year’s show would not be conducive to an event that is designed to provide family enjoyment. It is unfortunate that in the current emotionally charged atmosphere this celebratory event has become overshadowed by a decision that directly affected a small percentage of more than 1,000 exhibits showcasing products and services for those interested in hunting and fishing.
“ESS has long been proud to participate in the preservation and promotion of hunting and fishing traditions, and we hope that as the national debate clarifies, we will have an opportunity to consider rescheduling the event when the time is right to focus on the themes it celebrates.”
It is unfortunate that in the current emotionally charged atmosphere this celebratory event has become overshadowed by a decision that directly affected a small percentage of more than 1,000 exhibits showcasing products and services for those interested in hunting and fishing.
OBVIOUS that they don’t get it. The solidarity shown by the masses to protect the rights of the minority is how we should be operating. Not taking away from the minority because they are less important.
Again – KUDOS to all the companies that told REED TO KISS THEIR
