Sports South is the oldest and one of the largest wholesale firearms distributors in the United States. Founded in 1841 by the Dickson family in Shreveport, Louisiana, Sports South has operated continuously for over 180 years across five generations of family ownership. What began as a general mercantile business in the mid-1800s has grown into a nationally recognized firearms and shooting sports distribution powerhouse, operating its dealer ordering platform under The Shooting Warehouse brand.
The Sports South product catalog includes over 24,000 items from more than 300 manufacturers — spanning handguns, rifles, shotguns, ammunition, optics, holsters, and shooting accessories. Dealers know Sports South for deep inventory, competitive Sports South wholesale pricing, and fast fulfillment from their Shreveport distribution center. The company's Shooting Warehouse platform at theshootingwarehouse.com provides licensed dealers with real-time inventory visibility, order tracking, and automated purchase tools.
Licensed FFL dealers access inventory, place wholesale orders, and manage their accounts through The Shooting Warehouse at theshootingwarehouse.com. With Spark Shipping's Sports South integration, your firearms ecommerce store syncs directly with the Sports South product feed — automating product listings, real-time inventory updates, pricing, order routing, and tracking notifications without needing to manually check The Shooting Warehouse throughout the day.
