For anyone who watches me and hasn't seen this (unlikely) a journal you should check out. But before vilifying Nikon like so many are I must say Nikon makes optics. They make spotting scopes, binoculars, eyeglasses, microscopes, telescopes, rifle scopes, and so on. If its like many other big companies each branch does their own thing. Being at an event like this is the Nikon hunting marketing to their target audience (hunters). Its just business. All companies do things we don't like, and if you looked you would find Canon isn't squeaky clean either...

Not even mentioning if Nikon sponsored it I would figure the link would take you to the right page, and it doesn't. Its a broken link.

Either way, write Nikon, tell them you aren't happy about it.

Edit: I know my stance won't be popular. In fact I expect to lose watchers/support for it. I am not supporting the event. I think its wrong. But I also understand why some companies choose to advertise/sponsor it and won't condemn them for marketing to a segment of their market.
