AmChar Wholesale, Inc. has been in the firearms business since 1980. During the last 40 years, we have become one of the top distributors in the industry for law enforcement entities and independent dealers in the United States.

Sports, Inc. was founded in 1965 in Lewistown, Montana, as a means for independent sporting goods retailers to grow and prosper in a competitive marketplace. Since our beginning with seven outdoor stores, Sports, Inc. has grown into a nationwide network of stores involved in all facets of the sporting goods industry.

Nation’s Best Sports (NBS) is a premier sporting goods buying group in North America that was established in 1956 when Claude Manning and three friends—Joe Lipsey, E.J. “Buck” Buchanan and Paul Self, all of whom owned war-surplus stores—decided to pool their purchases and create the first sporting goods buying group, the Southwest Buying Syndicate. 

See what’s coming to the 2025 SHOT Show. SHOT Show is all about the businesses of the shooting sports, hunting, law enforcement, and armed forces industries.

The history of Big Rock Sports goes back more than 60 years to the founding of All-Sports Supply in Portland, OR. At that time, sporting goods was a much more personal business, and distributors knew the names of their retailers as well as their families.

Join us January 3rd & 5th in the Big Easy for our annual trade show! This year’s show will include top firearm, ammunition, and accessory manufacturers to stock your store with all the hottest products.
