BIRMINGHAM, AL. – Bangers LP, one of the country’s leading shooting sports distributors, is pleased to announce the hiring of John Horner and Louis Reich to serve as Account Managers within the sales team.

John Horner, whose father was a career military man and gun show owner, grew up in rural North Carolina. John began reselling and gunsmithing at an early age while his father mentored him in the business. Later in life, John opened his own gun store and after two expansions, sold his ownership shares to his business partner to pursue an opportunity working as a civilian sales account manager at Raven Concealment. In his spare time, John shares the same interests as many other Bangers employees as an outdoor enthusiast, shooter, and gun collector.

Lou Reich has been a firearms hobbyist his most of his life. After high school, Lou served our country in the Marine Corps. During his active duty, Lou advanced his knowledge of firearms safety, proficiency, and tactical training. Once entering the reserves, Lou began working in a retail gun store where he could continue to broaden his knowledge base within the shooting sports category. His passions for the industry and keen interest in the product ultimately landed him at Raven Concealment serving in a Product Manager role. His work with Raven continued until his deployment to the Middle East in 2018. Outside of work Lou enjoys outdoor recreation and shooting.

“We are pleased to have John and Lou join our veteran sales team here at Bangers. Their wealth of product knowledge and experience working behind the counter will be a true asset to our retail partners. More dealers are recognizing the value of the expertise and reliability Bangers brings to their businesses which has required us to further expand our sales footprint across the country,” states Jeff Pugh, Bangers Vice President of Sales.
