We started out as a garage business with a 4X28 compact scope as our first product. After more than 3 decades of hard work, Leapers is now a global business headquartered in Livonia, Michigan. Our 150,000 square foot, 4-building campus is the home to our in-house product design, development, manufacturing, indoor proving grounds, and advanced order fulfillment and distribution. Over 700 SKUs later, our brands have gained wide market recognition across the globe.

Leapers has outfitted shooters for more than 30 years. Most, if not all, have come across our well-established brands online, at a gun show, and or at their local gun shop down the street. Our mission is to promote a quality lifestyle through innovative and solution-oriented hunting and shooting sports optics and accessories with complete concept-to-delivery services to customers all over the world. Innovation, quality, value, and service are central to every one of our brands.

Leapers was established in 1992. In the first 15 years, we focused on horizontal integration to bring multiple product lines into one umbrella for a one-stop firearm accessory shopping experience. In the second 15 years, we strove to achieve vertical integration, ensuring that our products, from development, manufacturing, to sales and service are aligned and managed with our complete control and discipline. Our commitment into the future is to fully leverage our synergized global organization with its R&D power and streamlined manufacturing and supply chain to keep bringing consumers sought-after hunting and shooting sports products.

Established in 2021 and our latest expansion to our Livonia, Michigan headquarters, our indoor 100 yard shooting range is part of our continued commitment to improve upon the past, make impact in the present, and provide better in the future. The range is equipped with Action Target's latest GENESIS™ Target Retriever System. An industry-leading, sophisticated, and dynamic range system picked specifically to streamline and efficiently optimize our live-fire product testing and employee training. Although there is no substitute for the great outdoors and the extensive 1,000 yard long-range precision optics testing we commit to offsite, more time and rounds can be dedicated and spent indoors towards improving our product testing and validation, the way our representatives assist you, and the performance upon which you expect when purchasing our products.
