Black ovis/camofire going out of business?

[Scare]

I placed an order on 10/17 in the morning. I received a order confirmation shortly afterward. Never received a shipping confirmation or tracking number or anything. But my order did arrive on 10/24. I was worried, but they did come thru.

Can’t believe this thread is still going . I’ll say this about boycotting a retailer- if you really wanted to boycott every retailer that supports something you don’t agree with you’d go naked and probably starve to death. And you wouldn’t have a phone or pc to even tell people about it. If you have a problem with a specific guy or product, don’t buy his stuff. If it actually puts a dent in the retailer’s sales of that particular person’s product they’ll probably stop carrying it. You can still inform the retailer that you disagree with their decision to carry so and so’s product but giving them a threatening ultimatum is bad form IMO.

That being said, I highly doubt a few guys boycotting Camofire and BO had anything to do with them going under.

I think the decision to platform and enrich convicted poachers is an indicator of leadership's lack of character and conscience, and the fact that the poor decisions and greed that led to a chapter 7 came from the same minds is the proof.

I don't think any of us are dumb enough to think that we have individual sway with any one retailer, but to say "who cares, everyone who sells anything is just as bad as Kendall" is just ridiculous. We're not talking about Walmart, these are tiny companies with a handful of employees, and most of them are run by fairly decent people.

Rokslide took ad revenue from CF and BO and everyone is still here . And how does the size of the company have anything to do with boycotting them ? I don’t see your logic.

It's really not that complicated. There's lots of stores that sell hunting gear and lots of direct to consumer companies. Not hard to find one selling something you want that isn't a supporter of muley freak, the bowmars, or other similar parasites/black eyes of the hunting industry.

Of course we all purchase things from folks we dont necessarily align with but if there are easy alternatives voting with dollars can move a needle or at least make you feel better about your purchases.

Smaller companies are easier to sway. Their lower revenue makes boycotting more painful, and small niche companies are much easier to avoid because they have more direct competitors. So BO giving a middle finger to former customers rather than cut ties with an unreformed unrepentant criminal who sheds a bad light on the already misunderstood and maligned hunting "industry" tells a lot.
