The Straight Shooter

[d findley]

Joseph Lee Bowman 1925-2009 Joe was a Friend of Sturm, Ruger, trick shooter, fast draw artist, and showman supreme. He taught many "cowboy" actors to shoot and handle a firearm. Joe would come the NRA shows and preform at the Ruger Collector's banquet. A great American.

I had the pleaser to meet Joe at an NRA annual meeting the year before he passed. I was so impressed I bought some of his videos. He was always glad to talk RUGER and was very knowledgeable about them and his gun handling skills. He was a showman's showman!
