Bob Allen killed

Shooting Industry, Jan, 2005 by Russ Thurman

The first shooting jacket I ever wore had a Bob Allen logo on it. A lot of shooters can say the same thing.

Allen and his wife, Sari, were killed in a one-car accident in mid-November. The 84-year-old founder of Bob Allen Sportswear was a world champion trapshooter, who outfitted shooters throughout the world. During World War II, he was a gunnery officer and flew numerous combat missions.

He will be missed.
