What Mile High Shooting does

Mile High Shooting Accessories (operating as Mile High Shooting) is a U.S. specialty retailer focused on precision long-range shooting, hunting, and tactical firearms products. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Erie, Colorado, the company sells firearms, ammunition, optics, suppressors, reloading components, accessories, and apparel through an e-commerce storefront powered by BigCommerce and two physical showrooms in Frederick, CO and Cheyenne, WY. Its assortment is concentrated in high-end precision shooting brands such as Accuracy International, Nightforce, Zero Compromise Optics, Thunder Beast, Spuhr, MDT, Area 419, Berger Bullets, Hornady, and SITKA, positioning the company as an authorized dealer in a niche where product expertise is a key purchase driver.

The company operates a multi-channel go-to-market: direct-to-consumer e-commerce, in-person showroom sales, a B2B dealer program, an affiliate program, an LE/Military discount program, FFL transfer services, and a Riflescope Trade-In Program. It also runs factory-level Accuracy International armorer training courses from its facilities, monetizing technical expertise alongside transactional retail, and has launched an MHSA-branded proprietary apparel line as an owned-brand extension. Revenue mechanics are predominantly transactional retail and wholesale, with service and training as secondary revenue streams. Customer concentration is structurally low given the consumer-led, multi-segment mix.

The business is privately held with 11–50 employees and has not disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership changes, or revenue figures. Strategic posture over the observable period is incremental and operationally disciplined: expansion of physical footprint, addition of new channels and customer segments, and ecosystem extensions (training, trade-in, loyalty) without external capital.

Others

• GunBroker: Online firearms marketplace connecting buyers and sellers; MHSA actually runs GunBroker auctions as part of its marketing channels. Comparable as a transactional channel for firearms and shooting gear, though GunBroker is a marketplace rather than a direct retailer.

Direct peers

• Natchez Shooters Supplies: Online retailer of firearms, ammunition, reloading components, and shooting accessories serving hunters and competitive shooters. Comparable catalog breadth and customer base to MHSA, with a strong reloading component focus.
• OpticsPlanet: Online specialty retailer focused on optics, firearms accessories, and shooting gear, including precision riflescopes, night vision, and tactical equipment. Comparable to MHSA's optics-heavy assortment and precision-shooter customer base.
• EuroOptic: Specialty retailer of precision riflescopes, thermal/night vision, and premium shooting accessories serving a similar precision-rifle and long-range shooting customer base. Closely comparable curated premium-brand positioning to MHSA.
• Brownells: Largest US firearms and gunsmithing retailer and wholesaler with an extensive catalog of firearms, components, reloading supplies, and tools. Closely comparable to MHSA's product breadth and customer base, though Brownells is significantly larger and well established in the reloading/gunsmithing niche.
• Primary Arms: Direct-to-consumer optics and firearms accessories retailer with a strong presence in LPVO/MPVO scopes and AR-platform components. Comparable to MHSA in the optics-forward portion of the catalog, though more AR-centric than precision-rifle focused.
• MidwayUSA: Major online and catalog retailer of firearms, ammunition, reloading components, optics, and shooting accessories targeting hobbyists, hunters, and competitive shooters. Directly comparable to MHSA in catalog breadth and customer segment.

Broad incumbents

• Sportsman's Warehouse: National big-box sporting goods retailer carrying firearms, ammunition, optics, and hunting gear across many categories. Comparable to MHSA's core categories but with much broader scope (camping, fishing, outdoor apparel) and a different store-format economics model.
• Bass Pro Shops / Cabela's: Largest US outdoor recreation retailer offering hunting, fishing, and shooting merchandise including firearms and optics. Comparable product overlap but vastly larger scale, broader assortment, and destination-store format.

Emerging players

• Palmetto State Armory: Direct-to-consumer firearms manufacturer and retailer with a rapidly growing in-house product line (AR-platform rifles and pistols, ammunition). Comparable firearms-retail function but vertically integrated into manufacturing, with a different price-point positioning.
