Bob Calkins

is an active shooter, hunter and firearms collector who has been making gunleather for himself and friends for over 50 years. 

In 1990 he and his wife, LaVon, decided to establish 3 Cross Custom Gunleather as a part-time business. 

Upon retiring from the Department of Interior in 1994, gunleather became a full-time occupation. 

Bob crafts gun rigs for cowboy competitors, which has included State, National and World Champion shooters.  Leather for hunters, outdoorsmen, casual shooters, and concealed carry holders, make up the balance of his business. 

At age 71, Bob has cut back on hours working, but still produces several holsters and gun belts every week.  In his opinion there are numerous good leather craftsmen, however he believes it takes an individual with a true appreciation of firearms and their use to build a truly functional piece of gunleather.
