We are aware of YETI’s recent withdrawal from the NRA. However, after looking into the matter and speaking with YETI directly, we have discovered that this was a result of not being able to come to a new agreement of terms at this time, and in no way means they are “anti-gun” or “anti-NRA”.
They have assured us that they continue to be PRO 2nd amendment, the shooting sports, hunting, fishing and all other outdoorish adventure groups.

Please read the following statement released by YETI.


“A few weeks ago, YETI notified the NRA Foundation, as well as a number of other organizations, that we were eliminating a group of outdated discounting programs. When we notified the NRA Foundation and the other organizations of this change, YETI explained that we were offering them an alternative customization program broadly available to consumers and organizations, including the NRA Foundation. These facts directly contradict the inaccurate statement the NRA-ILA distributed on April 20.

Further, the NRA-ILA stated in that same public communication that "[YETI has] declined to continue helping America's young people enjoy outdoor recreational activities." Nothing is further from the truth. YETI was founded more than 10 years ago with a passion for the outdoors, and over the course of our history we have actively and enthusiastically supported hunters, anglers and the broader outdoor community. We have been devoted to and will continue to directly support causes tied to our passion for the outdoors, including by working with many organizations that promote conservation and management of wildlife resources and habitat restoration. From our website to our film footage and from our social media posts to our ambassadors, YETI has always prominently featured hunters pursuing their passions. Moreover, YETI is unwavering in our belief in and commitment to the Constitution of the United States and its Second Amendment.”

Now with all that being said, Edge Customs will be doing a custom line of limited edition mugs that will be available for purchase or you can get one done up however which way you like!

Good question... we'll ask.
 
I call B.S. Sure they want our money but at the same time want to distance themselves from the NRA to appease the greenies who can use their coolers while on the hot dusty protest lines. They lost any business I might have given them.
 
I’m quite content with my Yeti gear and won’t be changing it over this. MEC ticked me off a little with their dropping of some hunting related lines, and I’ll probably drop my membership with them over it, but Yeti is safe for me.

I’m no Liberal, but I’m also not a militant gun rights activist, and the NRA has done nothing since that idiot Heston destroyed my respect for them back in ‘99.

the NRA is garbage anyways, they compromise often and don't have the interests of the gun owner in mind. good on yeti for leaving them I'll be buying more products from them now
 
I have a couple of Yeti mugs. Very good quality product and that's why I bought them. I don't really care about their position on the NRA and guns in general as long as they keep their quality up.
 
1. This is Canadian Gun Nutz, not American Gun Nutz... who cares about the NRA, they certainly don't care about us.
2. NRA is much more interested in money than in the rights of (American) gun owners.
3. Drawing hard lines and threatening boycotts over things like this make us look like the fanatics that the political and social left tries to portray us as. Please don't play into their hands.
4. Anger at a business for making a decision regarding their own operations but no anger or disappointment towards the apparently inaccurate and misleading statement from the NRA? Seems a bit like biased/unfair judgement to me.
 
This news came right before I would go to the Cabelas to buy the Tundra 75 at $599.00. I put the purchase on hold now. Yeti may not get any money from me if it turns out they follow the order of MOVE ON.org or other garbage radical groups.

It matters to me. I tend to want to support companies that stand-up for things I believe in.

Furthermore, what happens in the South typically has a ripple effect directly North to us.

Normally, I'd have agreed, but a ton of Canadian retailers have been caving to supposed boycotts from the left sparked by US tragedies and subsequent public response.

Try finding a copy of Recoil magazine or Guns & Ammo at Shoppers, Safeway/Sobeys, or Chapters/Indigo. They ALL pulled them after the public outcry stemming from the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas school in Florida.

If we as gun owners don't start responding with similar boycott risks, we're going to see more and more retailers dropping firearms products. I'd love to play the understated Canadian gun owner, but we will lose as the anti-gunners continue to attack our vendors.

That all said, I wouldn't doubt Yeti's explanation of the issue. Plenty of corporations have legacy agreements they need to modernize. Heck, the new deal might work even better for the NRA or other partners.

THIS... I agree. From following a lot of Pro 2A pages it appears many are fed up with the NRA and how they are running things.
 
No compromise is No compromise... not hey well let them pass some laws and keep pushing the limits and that's what it seems the NRA is doing with their hands out the whole time looking for more money.

Bump stocks? stupid yes yes I agree, But bought and legally owned. F them for caving to that debacle. That's like some of the turds on here saying Cz 858? Swiss Arms? ahh who cares I only use my Winchester 30-30 to hunt with. NO NO NO. When are we going to all learn the Left wants everything banned and removed one class or gun at a time.
We either stick together and say no to everything or fall as a giant turd.
Just my .02c
