The employees of those companies don't have any say in who owns them; I don't think putting pressure on them by ending their sales will end with them breaking ties with Vista Outdoor, in fact that is probably impossible. It isn't as though the relationship is at will, so it isn't the same as boycotting a retail outlet to make it end a supplier relationship. All those employees would just get screwed. I'd leave them alone, personally.
