## Caption

A proposed class-action lawsuit filed in federal court last week is accusing the archery industry of colluding to fix prices of products at all levels.⁠
⁠
The suit, which was filed May 30 in U.S. District Court in Utah, names big-box store retailers like Bass Pro Shops, bowmakers like Mathews, and the Archery Trade Association for conspiring “to fix the prices of — and eliminate price discounting and competition for — archery products.” The 63-page lawsuit hinges on a policy known as Minimum Advertised Pricing, or MAP. Many archery companies and outdoor retailers won’t sell their archery equipment, particularly compound bows, for less than a certain amount. If a bow shop undercuts agreed upon prices, manufacturers can — and have — enforced their MAP policies by revoking a shop’s authorized dealer status for their brand. The lawsuit accuses the ATA of a “campaign to artificially raise prices through MAP policies.”⁠
