About AmmoLand
AmmoLand Shooting Sports News is an online news service covering firearms, hunting, the shooting sports, Second Amendment politics and the firearms industry. It began publishing in October 2008 as the Ammoland News and Business Directory, inviting companies in the shooting industry to submit news and press releases for free. Fredy Riehl serves as editor-in-chief. The site mixes original reporting and opinion with industry announcements, posting 10 to 40 items each weekday from its start and later adding weekend coverage.
AmmoLand has become a widely read daily source of firearms news. By its tenth anniversary in October 2018, it reported more than 68,000 published articles, more than 197,000 reader comments and more than a million readers a month, with regular contributors such as David Codrea, Dean Weingarten, Jeff Knox and Tom McHale. In April 2020 AmmoLand reported that it had cracked the top 1,000 most-read websites in the United States. Its writers have won recognition from Second Amendment groups, including Dean Weingarten’s 2019 Defender of Liberty Award from the Second Amendment Foundation and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
