Garner's Huntin' and Fishin' the Outdoors

John Garner founded Garner's LLC in 2004 after decades in the hunting and fishing industry. He started in taxidermy and meat processing before transitioning to retail—but his passion for the outdoors never changed. He hunts and fishes whenever possible, and that real-world experience shapes everything the store does.

"Time spent in the woods or with family is more important than just the hunt to him," according to the store's philosophy.

Garner's stocks a rotating selection of used guns across all categories and price points:

Shotguns & rifles - Winchester side-by-side 12ga ($2,800), Winchester 30-06 collector ($2,500), Browning A5 12ga ($1,550), Marlin .35 Rem ($950), Savage 300 WSM ($700)

"Speed is not the key to bow hunting—SILENCE IS!" All technicians are trained through archery schools and actively hunt, so they know what actually works in the field.

John Garner brings serious credentials to the table:

Garner's actively supports youth hunting and fishing development, recognizing that young people face competition from screens and digital distractions. The store encourages hunters to take kids into the woods as a way to build the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts.
