Another fine Gentleman has passed from our ranks....
« on: May 25, 2023, 10:06:11 AM »
John Turner of American Leathers has passed away.  Lori called me yesterday to tell me the news and I missed the call.  She sent an email and I will be calling her later today.  He was a great Sponsor for many years here, Sponsor Hall of Fame.  Him and Lori have always been great to work with.

He was also was the founder of Idaho Traditional Bowhunters.  He will be missed my many.

God speed to the Turner Family.

One more hunting product that will use with honor.  And never let it slip away.  Memories are eternal.

I just got off the phone with Lori and they are going to continue with the business as John would want she said. Good news as the legacy will live on.  :clapper:

American Leathers gloves are the finest anywhere.  And considering you can have the finger stalls re-sewn they are built for a lifetime.  We’re sorry for your loss Lori.  Glad to hear that the business will continue on.

May he rest in peace and perpetual light shine upon him.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.
