A friend of mine spotted this character at an archery trade show. Neither of us can figure out if it's an established pop culture persona or just some company's mascot.

Just tried Google image search. Nothing with that distinctive emblem on its chest.– Emsley WyattJan 18, 2018 at 17:28

Which archery trade show was this? (Location, etc)?– JohnPJan 18, 2018 at 17:59

@JohnP Archery Trade Association show in downtown Indianapolis.– AerykJan 18, 2018 at 18:00

The helmet, wrist, and knee pads have the same logo as a poster in the background. So it's probably a mascot for whatever that logo represents.– Vanguard3000Jan 18, 2018 at 18:48

2Poster in the background? I think you're looking at his backpack. But, yes, the over abundance of logos was why I suspected a mascot.– AerykJan 18, 2018 at 19:02

This appears to be the "OZ" robot designed by Robot Costumes USA for ScentLok Technologies
You can see some video footage on their website. A closer inspection of the logo reveals that it says Active Odor Destroyer.

22Based on the photo, I was trying to figure out what an "ACTIVE DOOR ESTROYFR" was. What a great font choice!– BrianJan 18, 2018 at 21:32

2Since the D and O are so close together, it got me wondering if it was saying "active door destroyer" instead. Does "estroyfr" come from damage to the letters? Jan 19, 2018 at 3:52

@JohnDvorak - They illuminate. In this instance some of the bulbs appear to not be working very well.– ValorumJan 19, 2018 at 8:10
The character is in some way associated with ScentLok
(source: scentlok.com)
He appears to be sporting the ScentLok logo.
Found by identifying the RexPID sign in the background, going to the exhibitors floorplan, finding the RexPID booth and then looking at the vendors that seemed to be within line of sight of that booth
